Every time you stick that fuel nozzle in the tank you have the opportunity for contamination.

Not as much as removing components, and re installing critical seals.

Really, so you don't consider a fuel filler cap a component with a critical seal which you remove every 2-300 miles and then stick a dirty fuel dispensing nozzle in! Really!

Installing the tank is a one time deal unless you fail to install it properly.
The tank is easy to install and easy to install correctly.

There is no reason to have the seal fail.

I like the way you think Porthole, one might even be so bold as to say that changing the tank reduced the chance if contamination by 25-50% depending on fueling habits.

Yeah I'll go with that, I'm filling up about half as much as what I did prior to the tank install

ya really. i dont see fueling as dangerous as an improperly installed fuel system. sure, it may be easy to install for some, but there it is far from error proof. for instance, a damaged gasket whether it be folded, cut, knicked, or otherwise installed improperly would be a source for water to enter the tank. especially if water were to be sitting on top of the tank just waiting to seep in. also bolts could be under torqued, over torqued, etc..., fittings can also be improperly installed.

now your telling me that Ford isnt gonna bring all that stuff up for a high dollar fuel system warranty claim. of course they are. theyre gonna bring up everything under the sun related to the system.

Evidently you have seen titan design of their fuel tank it would be impossible for any water to set on top of the fuel tank. If you follow their instructions you will have no problems with installation. I have personally installed 4 of titan tanks on all of my trucks past and present with no fuel problems what so ever.

And if the tank came with stuff inside that needs cleaning? As some do. And some moron uses water and doesnt get it all out? Or kust doesn't clean it. While i agree it can be done right, ford will play every card they can if a fuel contamination claim is made.

You just don't get it, the sky really is not falling - but if you continue to use pldege to clean your truck you will void the paint warranty, your new wheels will void the chassis warranty - yada yada yada.

It is obvious you don't like the replacement tank idea - so stick with your in the bed tank and void the pickup bed warranty, and violate some EPA regs with the fuel transfer.
We all know by know you don't like the Titan. For those that have it - we like it and you won't convince us of it otherwise.

3 months? - it is about quality, not quantity, whether is gallons of diesel or post counts.

Not only can you not read, otherwise you would see that i want a titan tank, dont have an in bed tank, dont clean my paint with pledge, and accept the risk invloved with mods, but your also just a plain old ***.
