the straps were ( according to Titan supposed to be in the tank .. they were not .. but it didn't take long to make them and since mine Ford had the OEM skid plate option I doubled up on the OEM straps //
Labor is free parts aren't // so I was ok with that

My 05 sales brochure says LB tanks are 38 gallon and SB tanks are 30 gallon US. At my age, Bayou, I'm not sure divorce is really worth it. I've given away my last house. It's cheaper to build a pole barn with all the man amenities and just spend more time out there.

I can fit over 30 gals in my shortbed if I am running on empty!

But I have a diesel with the Harpoon mod, so I can fill the tank completely!!!

I thought long and hard over adding capacity and due to the need to go to the bathroom more frequently as the years go by I decided to stay with my present tank.

lol I know I spend a easy $100 at the pump now.... but it last longer and I don't need to worry like I used too about finding diesel stations

one of the worst things you can do to a 6.0 is run it out of fuel

the injectors count on the fuel to provide a cushion ..no fuel or air in the fuel can destroy an injector

Yep, my boat gets about 1 to 1.5 mpg's at wot at about 50 mph. On an all day trip I burn an average of 130 gals. if I don't go more than 30 miles offshore. I keep telling myself I'll slow down but I never do.
