Anyone know if a 2017 48 gal tank will fit in a 2016 CC LB?

 

Considering the differences in the frames of both years of trucks, and the fact that the '16 has a frame mounted low pressure pump/DFCM combo, and the '17 has the low pressure pump inside the tank, I would doubt they are interchangeable. It would be nice though. There are a few other differences that would also reduce the likelihood of a swap.

 

Thanks! Would be nice.

 

You could run a Titan tank and get even more capacity. Direct replacement and holds 65 gallons...

Does that titan hang below the frame? I have been know to scratch the underside my truck from time to time. I want my tank above the frame rail.

The Titan tanks do hang a little bit below. I investigated the 50-gallon tank for my 2016 short bed...it hangs about 1" below the frame IIRC. Titan offers an extra-cost plastic skid plate, which of course makes the whole thing hang a little lower...

It bothered me a little bit too, but in reality its no big deal...plenty of other things are even lower (shocks, diff, driveshaft, etc). Diesel isn't terribly volatile in the event of a leak happening...

 

Not worried about burning fuel. More worried about not making it back home. I have been in the cold and high heat. I can be miles from any paved road.




I am thinking about a midship tank from RDS.

 

Well, I've had an off-road incident in a gas-powered Land Rover where a fuel tank did rupture due to off-road damage and dumped fuel in the vicinity of the exhaust...so I always consider that. But fuel range is important. I hated the 26 gallon tank in my 2016 diesel. Love the 48. Wouldn't have minded even more.

 

Agree with this. The Titan does hang down a little below the frame, but many other features of the underside of the truck would be damaged or ripped off before you would damage the Titan tank from ground contact. I would much rather have the fuel volume and worry about my driving and the lines I am picking on the trail versus worrying about when I will run out if fuel.

 

<br />I agree with the above. I have the Titan 50 gallon in my '12 CCSB 4x4. I do not have a fuel logistical problem towing in the four corners region anymore. With the stock tank: about 23-24 gallons usable; assume 10 mpg towing (got wind!); 230 mile range; 40-50 miles between fuel stations many times; so the prudent range towing is about 170 miles; sucks! The Titan fixed this, plus I shop on line for the best price. Short bumps on forest roads less than the length of the wheel base are what get my attention. Slow down and pick the best line!!

 

Transfer flow has some other tank options as well. I have the in the bed 98 gal tank that automatically transfers the fuel and it works great. It is about the size of a regular tool box in the front of the bed. On the highway I can go about 16 to 1800 miles between fillups and in the city with my regular running I get about 1500 miles or two weeks between fillups. 136 gals of fuel is a good bit of weight though, not for everyone.

 

I put in a 33gal RDS tank so it would fit under my bed cover. With that I am at 57 gal total between the two

 

I put a 60 gal RDS toolbox tank in my 2012 longbed dually. so this gives me about 98 gallons.

my bed cover fits over without problem

 

You guys are making me want the 55 gallon Titan for my truck even more. I can get it delivered for $811.. Hmmm.....

 

If you can get it for 811 delivered, sounds like a bargain to me. I found a new one for my CCLB on eBay that was being sold by a surplus company if cost me $1200 shipped.
