I would be interested and would also be interested in local pickup or shipping to San Diego.

Will they also offer us a discount on the auxiliary tank?

If this goes down, you can pick up from my house in san bernardino or have it shipped. and will check on the Aux tank for ya

Aero tank

I might be interested. What are the dimensions and would they hang down any lower that any of the other 23 gal. tanks?

I installed one in the fall of '08. They hang down as low as the stock skid plate. You won't need a skid plate with the Aero tank. These things are STOUT! You could stand the whole truck on one of these tanks.

they had a tank in the shop that can off a heep and it looked like it took a hell of a beating w/o the skid plate... so I agee with you on these being stout!

Aero does offer a skid plate option though, for those that want that much more protection. It's an extra plate welded to the bottom. The ones you've seen that have taken a lot of abuse might just have had that option too, so make sure before you opt out of that choice.
I got it on mine, but will probably never try it out like many of you will with yours!

I am interested in the mass buy and where I work can be a shipping point for anyone interested in the Fort Smith, Arkansas area.

Hey 4xfloored, not that you don't have enough to do already, but it seems there are a lot of interested parties from parts East that might benefit from another tack.
Maybe give BC Broncos a call too and see if they'd be interested in discounting their tank slightly, if there are several members buying?
Chuck and Jason are members here too, so you might not even have to call. Yes, theirs are more expensive to start with, but it's a real piece of work and has all the bells-whistles most would need.
If there is a little wiggle room in his pricing for a volume buy, and the shipping is less because he's closer to the others (being in the Great State of Texas and all), it might just be worth it for the others that might not join in due to the shipping.

Whaddya think?

Might not be a bad idea, I knew Chuck and Jason when they where 20 min from my house up in Hesperia, I will give them a call and talk to either of them for the folks out east..

The dimensions are 14.5" Deep 22" wide ( side to side)
The Departure Angle is 7.5" and angles up 3" from the bottom of the Tank

I'm in if we can make this thing happen. Fed Ex Ground seems to be the lease expensive for me. Willl the vendor work with other shippers?? Jeff - Va Beach, VA

The Vendor will work with other shippers however, you will need to set up the arrangments with FedEx for Pick up and Delievery

You can pick up here at my house, and as for the Aux. Tank (11gallons) the regular price is $225.00, if we hit our goal the discounted price will be $179.00
plus the price of the sending unit of $38.00

does not have to be EFI, its a big debate what is better, the benifit is said to be that the pump stays cooler, but the advantage of the pump on the outside of the tank is that it can be replaced without dropping the tank.. maybe more will chime on on the subject..;)

I will call tomorrow. I was curious if they will charge our credit card right away or if they will wait to make sure we have 5 or do they just wait until they ship. I was going to buy a 4x4x2 setup and timing was somewhat important, but BC came and bought them all so I guess it doesn't matter now.

forgive me I did not get that kind of information, I however don't think we will have a problem hitting that # as over 34 bronco brothers chimed in on the poll will interest in the tanks...;)
