RDS MFG INC Diesel Install Kit 11025 — Universal transfer tank kit, gravity-feed fittings & hoses

This install kit supplies the fittings, hoses, and hardware commonly needed to link an RDS transfer tank to a diesel vehicle so fuel can gravity feed from the auxiliary tank. Designed for straightforward installation with most RDS tanks, the kit makes it easy to add auxiliary fueling without major alterations to the factory system. It works with diesel systems that permit bottom-feed gravity supply and supports gasoline auxiliary fueling only if siphoned from the tank top using an electric pump.

What comes in the kit and how comprehensive is it?

The 11025 Diesel Install Kit contains the basic components required to create a dependable connection between your RDS transfer tank and the vehicle’s fuel inlet. It focuses on providing commonly used fittings and hoses so installers don’t have to source multiple small parts separately.

• Assortment of fuel fittings sized for standard auxiliary connections
• Durable fuel hose rated for diesel service
• Brackets, clamps, and mounting hardware to secure lines
• Installation instructions to streamline the hookup

How does it connect an auxiliary tank to my vehicle?

The kit is engineered to tie the RDS transfer tank’s outlet to the diesel inlet or return on most OEM systems, allowing diesel to gravity feed from the auxiliary tank when vehicle systems permit. Installation involves routing hose from the tank outlet to the vehicle connection point and securing all fittings and clamps to prevent leaks.

• Bottom-feed design supports gravity flow for diesel
• Universal-style fittings adapt to common tank outlets and vehicle inlets
• Includes hose clamps and mounting brackets for a secure run

Can I use the kit with gasoline or other fuels?

While the kit is intended primarily for diesel auxiliary systems, gasoline can be used only when siphoned from the top of the auxiliary tank by an approved electric pump. The kit’s components are selected for diesel service; verify compatibility and local regulations before using gasoline or alternative fuels.

• Designed mainly for diesel gravity-feed applications
• Gasoline use requires top-siphon with an electric pump, not bottom-feed
• Always confirm material compatibility and safety rules for other fuels

How difficult is installation and what should I prepare?

Installation difficulty ranges from simple to moderate depending on vehicle layout and how accessible the fuel inlet is. Basic mechanical skills, common hand tools, and mild fabrication for bracket placement are typically sufficient; professional installation is recommended if you’re unsure.

• Basic hand tools (wrenches, screwdrivers) are usually adequate
• Prepare vehicle access under the bed or near the OEM fuel inlet
• Allow time to properly route hoses and torque fittings to spec

Who is this for: The RDS MFG INC 11025 Diesel Install Kit is suited for vehicle owners, fleet managers, and installers who already use or plan to add an RDS auxiliary transfer tank and want a compact, cost-effective hardware package to complete the fuel connection. It’s ideal for diesel users seeking a straightforward gravity-feed hookup and for technicians who prefer a ready-made set of commonly required fittings and mounting hardware. If you need a top-siphon gasoline solution, pair this kit with an appropriate electric pump and verify compatibility before proceeding.
