Question for Titan Fuel Tank Owners...

I threw mine away after keeping it for months - well several weeks ago I had an unfortunate problem on the I-10 I was driving along and a piece of aluminum scaffolding fell off a truck - well I had no place to go so I drove over it - It straddled between my wheels perfectly. Except there was one problem - a small piece of aluminum was sticking up and punctured through my titan skid plate and my tank - I had to repair mine while another was en-route. And of course if i had my old tank I could have reinstalled it - but it was gone. So if you have a place to store it (Under the house, or wherever -Keep it.) Otherwise chunk it and need it latter. (Isn't that Joe's law? - I know it is similar to Murphy's? ) My new tank and skid plate will have a plate of 1/8" stainless between the plastic skid-plate and the tank. - I will cut to fit with a plasma cutter.

I just checked, I thought I had some but I guess not - It was a gash about 8 inches long and 3 tenths of an inch wide with fuel spewing all over the road - Lucky for me I had just filled up and was able to stuff some putty epoxy in the gash to slow the leak long enough to get to my buddy's shop where we took everything apart and cut a small piece of aluminum and glued it in place with a 3M Fast Set plastic bonding adhesive. - Worked great - several weeks later and no problems - but I will defiantly put the stainless plate between the tank and the skid plate when I replace the tank. I guess there is a reason that FORD puts the steel plate under there tanks!!

Great question. I've been wondering the same. I have my old fuel tank, the stock hitch, and the stock bedliner. Was wondering if the local big salvage yard would give me anything for them. I'd take $20 for everything. Its only four miles up the road versus 2.5 miles to the dump.
By the way, I sold the truck so the "just in case" doesn't apply to me at all.

Ironically, we ran out of fuel on our first big trip with our Titan. Gauge read almost empty and "miles to empty" was 21 when she just died at 72mph on the interstate. My float in the tank didn't sit like the stock tank allowed it to and I didn't make any adjustments. Found out the hard and expensive way. Fortunately, Ford paid for the towing. How 'bout that?

Here are a few posts or you can read the whole topic; it's long.

I put a Titan in my 06 GMC, got rid of the old tank after 6 months or so. When I decided to get the new truck I put the GMC on Craigslist. The ad mentioned 2 prices, one with the add on's, one without. I got several requests for the Titan if I pulled it, $5-600.
I'll keep the factory tank this time for the next trade up. That 5-600 would get me half way to a new Titan.
