46 gallons instead of 29!

 

No but there price has come down about $200 from the last time I looked at it.

no, but i am seriously looking into it. i hate to pay $1000 for a new gas tank, especially when a diesel can buy a 57 gallon for $100 less, but i would love to have the extra volume on my towing trips with my camper so i wouldnt have to stop for gas. if anybody has done this replacement, i would be interested to know as well.

 

Yeah, i am most interested in ground clearance issues and whether the dash computer on the lariat can be reprogrammed. I live in south louisiana and everytime there is a hurricane (and theres at least 3 per year) there is a shortage of fuel. I'd like to have the extra 20+ gallons.

 

Im looking for a cheapeer alternative. Thats Alot of moey gor a gastank

 

There are no clearance problems I have the 46 and love it....call me if you want.

 

I have 4x 55 gallon barrels in my garage for EMERGENCY situations. First time they mention Hurricane this upcoming season I am getting them filled.

 

It is possible to reprogram the
computer with the new tank size. I read how to do it on a website for replacement fueltanks. I'm with Jake00 - too expensive for me, besides I still have to go to the bthroom on long trips, so I might as well get fuel at the same time.

 

It would be nice if there was an, aftermarket, aft axle tank available to mount in place of the spare tire.

 

Then what do you do if you have a flat!

 

WOW!!! Their pretty proud of that thing!!! PRICEY!!!

 

Everyone is saying how expensive it is. Expense is a relative thing. What are you guys comparing it to?

 

Im comparing it to a few things

A. the fact that my gas tank works fine right now and doesnt need to be replaced
B. the fact that LB's get a bigger tank stock
C. Jeep wranglers come with 2 different size tanks, A buddy upgraded his with a used tank for less than 50 bucks.

 

I posted that from the oversized tire standpoint (35s and up). If one had 35 inch or larger tires and a matching spare would it fit in the factory under bed mount? Most I have seen either had the factory spare or they had it just thrown in the bed if they have one at all.

 

Are there any federal/state regulations against carrying carrying maybe a 55 gal drum of gas well anchored in a pickup bed? I ask more from the point of view of transfering fuel for a boat. I've been to Northern Tool and everything they have seems to be for deisel, not gas, and they have no idea why.
