BTW... I see you have both fuel tanks in the frame... Are dual tanks in the works?

The second tank is Urea for cleaning the DPF. It is only a 5-6 gallon tank.

Paul,

How are you going to:
1) Do the 'fuel door' for both diesel and DEF (urea) fill necks?
2) Do the rear fender arches (same as Excursion or same as 2012 F-250)?

Really enjoying watching your fast progress.

What year did they start using urea tanks ? Was it only for the 6.7 or 6.0 also ?

I believed only 6.7 and up only. 6.4 didn't have to have urea tank yet.

Think back 10 years ago. Did you ever think you would hear "Here is the fluid for your exhaust. That will be $37." Sounds like blinker fluid.
