RDS
<p>Established in 1975, RDS Manufacturing Inc. has built a reputation as a trusted name in aluminum fuel storage solutions. With 45 years of expertise in crafting premium aluminum auxiliary, refueling, transfer, and marine fuel tanks, RDS delivers durability and reliability to truck owners, boaters, commercial operators, and recreational enthusiasts who demand the best.</p><h3>Why Aluminum Matters</h3><p>RDS Manufacturing Inc products are made from aluminum, and these aluminum tanks resist rusting, which protects your fuel from contamination. Unlike steel tanks that can corrode over time, aluminum construction ensures clean fuel delivery for years. This corrosion resistance is especially critical in marine environments where saltwater exposure accelerates deterioration. Whether you're running diesel through a long-haul rig or storing gasoline in a boat, aluminum's inherent properties make it the superior choice for fuel containment.</p><h3>From the Water to the Worksite</h3><p>RDS's product range spans both marine and automotive applications. RDS makes custom marine fuel, water, and waste tanks, with configurations designed for below-deck and above-deck installations. Manufactured by RDS, these tanks are available in rectangular, belly shape, port side, and starboard side configurations with capacities ranging from 12 to 55 gallons, featuring robust construction compliant with marine standards. For boaters replacing aging tanks or custom-fitting new vessels, RDS's ability to manufacture to specification has made them a go-to source among marine professionals.</p><p>On land, RDS transforms how truck owners manage fuel logistics. Their <a href="/12679-rds-fuel-tank-6268">fuel tanks</a> include auxiliary tanks that extend driving range and transfer tanks that function as portable refueling stations. These aluminum tanks are designed for transferring diesel fuel, gasoline or aviation fuel from the bed of a pickup to automobiles, boats, 4-wheelers, generators, or anything else you may have. For contractors, ranchers, and long-distance travelers, this capability eliminates fuel shortages in remote locations.</p><h3>DOT-Approved Engineering</h3><p>All RDS tanks are American-made and meet DOT standards, ensuring they comply with federal transportation regulations. Each tank incorporates thoughtful design features: internal baffles reduce fuel slosh during transport, manual sight gauges provide at-a-glance capacity monitoring, and reinforced couplings accommodate manual or electric transfer pumps. All tanks meet DOT standards and each tank includes a manual sight gauge, baffles to reduce sloshing and drain fittings.</p><h3>Integrated Solutions</h3><p>RDS Manufacturing offers more than fuel tanks - its full product line includes durable aluminum tool boxes and specialty storage solutions designed for serious truck owners, and these RDS tool boxes provide secure, weather-resistant storage for tools, tie-downs and jobsite gear. Combination units pair fuel capacity with lockable toolbox storage, maximizing truck bed utility. For working dog owners and hunters, RDS even offers specialized dog box combinations with ventilation and integrated water tanks.</p><h3>Built to Last</h3><p>Customer testimonials from marine repair facilities and long-haul operators consistently praise RDS's build quality and customer service. The company's willingness to manufacture tanks to custom specifications—accommodating unique dimensional requirements—sets them apart in an industry often dominated by one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether you need a 13-gallon portable marine tank or a 90-gallon transfer tank for commercial fueling operations, RDS's extensive capacity options and proven aluminum construction deliver the reliability demanded by professionals.</p>
