CHICO, CA - According to Transfer Flow, Inc., its 50-gallon auxiliary fuel tank helps trucks increase their range and save money at the pumps. The 50-gallon fuel tanks also fit under tonneau covers. Made from either black powder-coated 14-gauge aluminized steel or polished 1/8-inch aluminum diamond plate, these Transfer Flow fuel tanks function via the company’s Trax-II operating system, which transfers fuel to the OEM fuel tank automatically and displays fuel status on an in-cab LCD screen.

The tanks are fully baffled to prevent fuel “slosh,” and include necessary mounting hardware and instructions. These 50-gallon auxiliary tanks are available for full-size Ford, GM, and Dodge pickups.

For available make and model years, call Transfer Flow at (800) 442-0056 or visit www.transferflow.com.

Migration to 4-Cylinder Engines Continues with 2010-MY Ordering

By Mike Antich
The ongoing volatility of gasoline prices has prompted a growing number of fleets to transition to four-cylinder engines. This transition started in the 2008-MY and accelerated with 2009-MY ordering, when gas prices surpassed $4 per gallon in the summer of 2008. Early indications are that the migration to four-cylinder engines will continue with 2010-MY ordering. We have already seen glimpses of this trend in the 2010 RFPs submitted to major OEMs.

Does LIBOR Still Correlate to Corporate Borrowing?

By Mike Antich
LIBOR was developed in 1984 as a measure of the real rate at which banks lend money to each other. Since the early 1990s, LIBOR has been used as a funding index for fleet leases. However, when the recent turmoil in the financial markets prompted governments to "backstop" bank borrowing, the cost of lending money began to represent a government-guaranteed rate, which no longer correlated to fleet lessor costs.
