Um, the fuel tank could be expanding or collapsing based on ambient temperatures. Then again, you would think that there's a valve in there somewhere to keep the pressure steady.
The Intelligent Oil Life Monitor is a bit of a black box. Basically, it understands the type of driving you're doing and how much of it. You can't tell it to aim for 5K oil change intervals. I ignore it, except when it agrees with me. I change the engine oil according to the severe duty schedule, so right at 5,000 miles.

Step 2: Press and hold the ‘INFO/RESET’ button on the steering wheel for two seconds and release it. The oil life monitor will be reset to 100%.
- Tip: If for any reason you need to change the percentage of your oil life, simply press and release the ‘INFO/RESET’ button again to reduce the oil life by 10% each time.

Theres not enough info given to know if theres a problem with your tank. Has the truck sat without running for long time? Is the pic taken with the truck running or was just running? How much fuel does the gauge say is in it? Is this a gasser or a diesel?
Whats the weather/temperature been lately?
one thing we do know, your fuel cap is good

Thinking outside the box...
I don't plan on skidding-over anything, but flying road debris can cause serious damage; that is what I would want protection from.
Chunks of tires, retreds, wire, metal, tree limbs, lumber, const. debris with nails, antlers, etc., bouncing up into a plastic fuel tank....sometimes, the debris cannot be avoided.
But drilling the frame to install anything (other than mounting a 30MM Vulcan) would be a big NO-NO.
Thanks, looking into after market.
