I got tired of dragging a hose out to the end of my driveway, so I bought this 25 gallon tank from RK. I also bought the extension cable with switch to plug it into the 12V in the cab. I then got tired of plugging it into the 12V power source in the cab. When I parked for the winter the battery would go dead, so I had a battery tender on it. The style that clips on the battery terminals. It has the same SAE connector.

So I figured I could kill two birds with one stone. I cut the 12V connector and hard wired it to the tank pump.

I then bought this bulkhead adaptor on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V6NJ37P?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details.

I also bought this cable to hook up to the battery. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R2L827M?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Now when I park it for a long time I plug the battery tender into it, so I don't have to drag out my jump start box. I think it was well worth it.
