Broke my heart to give away the 100-200 gallons of diesel fuel that was in the tanks but I had to take the buses directly to the processor, couldn't bring them here to pump the tanks down.
You can buy up to a 150 gal tank to install in the bed of a 3/4 or 1 ton truck. Some camper haulers use the step tanks off semi trucks into the bed with straps. Those are around 75 gal.
For my tank to transfer from it to the factory tank in my Chevy diesel I used a small electric (from one of the racing companies) fuel pump I found on closeout at the
auto parts store. I mounted it up high on the bed rail and run the hose down into a copper tube I brazed onto the filler neck. That way gravity would not play a factor. Mounted a lighted switch under the dash so I wasn't accidentally pumping diesel out of the lower tank and down the highway. When your running tired you don't notice a lot around you.
If you had a larger tank in your truck you could use the fuel pump to pump out of the bus tanks and into your truck tank. Just add as much rubber hose as needed to hit the lower part of the bus tank.
