Coupler assemblies are described that removably couple sides of an auxiliary fuel tank in a cargo area of an aircraft. In one embodiment, a first coupler of the coupler assemblies includes a first attachment member that supports a body with a hollow channel having a centerline disposed longitudinally in the fuselage between a first end and a second end, and a slot between an outer surface of the body and the hollow channel. A second coupler of the coupler assemblies includes an engagement member, a second attachment member, and an arm extending between the engagement member and the second attachment member. The engagement member is slidably received within the hollow channel from the first end, and fits slidably within the hollow channel to engage with the body of the first coupler, with the arm extending through the slot.
