The plastic in the Titan tank is similar if not the same plastic type used in the stock Ford tank.

Is metal safer than the plastic? Ford has been using plastic material for fuel tanks for many years now.

My opinion only, is that plastic tank is more apt to absorb an impact from a stone/rock/boulder with some deflection and then return more so to its normal shape than a metal tank. A metal tank would retain the indention and possibly tear along the crease.

Just my $0.02

MG250-

Google for "titan tank 7020211" (that's the one for the 6.7 CCSB) - you'll find a bunch of resellers. I got mine from Summit Racing. Not sure on installation cost, I did mine myself, in my driveway, in the 100F TX heat, so whatever it costs to have someone else do it.. it's worth it. Probably a few hundred dollars.

Ultratravler-

I'm curious too - I didn't know anything about Transfer Flow until after I already had the Titan.

Cheers,
Erik

As above, the plastic is probably more forgiving to out side forces impacting. Most of the manufacturers have been using plastic for many years.
Plastic doesn't have the same condensations issues that metal tanks have.

And, it took some time to get the formula correct. Early plastic tanks on Chrysler products had some issues when gasoline was constantly changes back in the 70 and 80's. We had a few tanks that were sloughing off material that would clog the sock on the pickup tube.

I have done two Titan tanks, GMC 2500 and the Ford DRW. Start to finish, in the driveway is less then two hours.

Curious to how big the Titan will be on the new truck.
