Fuel tank
Does anyone know how many liters/gallons the tank is on a 99 F-350 4x4 dually diesel?
I just went for fuel and it took $170 worth Ive never put that much in before?

Heh, I used to regularly put 34+ gallons in my short bed. Now that I have a long bed I regularly put 40+ gallons in at fill up.

I run the tank down as low as I can before sucking air, then fill up. And I mean UP...as in up to the opening in the fill tube.
The Ex has a 44 gallon rated tank but I've put more than 44 in it many times.

Harpooning the tank only allows you to fill it COMPLETELY in less time.
The FULL amount is the same either way.
The small vent (not the one in the filler neck) takes care of any air bubble that would be at the top of the tank, but it vents very slowly and carefully to avoid fuel spills.
Top of the neck is top of the neck.

The 2002 didn't have any tank mods done, but my '99, I believe Clay did the in-tank mods when he owned the truck. But like Marv posted, it doesn't add capacity.

Most guys don't run their tank down as low as I do. Plus, I fill it up to the same spot, every time, right up to the filler tube opening.

Why spend 5 minutes trickling in the fuel to get to the top of the neck, and hogging the only #$@&* diesel pump in the process?
Cut off the vent tube (harpoon) and the fuel keeps rocketing in to the top instead of clicking off 2-3 gallons short.
