Sounds like 2017-2019 may be SOL because of differences in fuel lines (see below). I wonder what the fuel line differences are. I’ve replaced a bunch of fuel lines on older trucks. Maybe I should ask to get the tank anyway and fab up lines.
Here’s what I received from Terri/transfer flow:
The current tank design fits the 2020-2022 model years. 2017-2019 will need a reengineered install kitbecause the fuel lines are different on these trucks. As soon as we complete the project for the 2020-2022 model years, we will begin the design work on the kit for 2017-2019. We will not need to retest but just alter the kit. My apologies as I know this will delay the tank for about 16% of customers currently on our waitlist.

I just checked in with her and she says I am #74. She also commented that I was near the top of the list so it must have grown considerably since I sent her that email asking to be placed on the waitlist.

Got this update yesterday from Transfer Flow:
"Thanks for reaching out! The tank is currently undergoing emissions testing. If we get a positive result, we will start presale soon. Our plan for the presale is to start at the top of our waitlist and work our way down. Please be patient with us as it may take some time before we get to your name."
You can't blame Transfer Flow for the testing delays, CARB must drive them nuts.

I hear you, but I'll bet you 25 cents the certification process is super restricted to specific models they test on, even when other models are virtually identical. I doubt that the government could handle that type of thinking very well, and the people granting certifications wouldn't be doing themselves any job security favors by making the certification overly broad. I'm not trying to be snarky or anti government, that's just human nature. So, companies like Transfer Flow have to look at how much a certification is going to cost, and how many tanks they think they can sell before the model becomes obsolete. At the end of the day, it's just business. I give them kudos for making the tanks in the US, and a special merit badge for doing it in California. They probably have less than a hundred employees, but (IMHO) small manufacturing companies like that are the real backbone of the country, much more so than giants like Ford.
CARB operates like a monopoly, answers to no one, and has wrecked havoc on the after market automotive scene for decades. Smaller American based outfits that are more flexible in manufacturing products customers actually want, are being squeezed out cone by one.
so don’t blame Transfer Flow, Blame the voters who are willing to give up more ground to regulatory overreach to sound more “with it” and be “part of the solution”. They’ll probably say something like “well LA was so polluted back in the day so regulations are good, lol”, even though they never lived in LA and gas tank size has so little to do with smog in Southern California, it’s a joke.

Got this update from Teri Barry yesterday, found out I'm number 230:
"We have passed emissions and have received the EO (Executive Order allowing the sale and use of the tank). The prototype has some minor adjustments to finish as well as some durability testing. Once I get the go-ahead from engineering, I will be able to begin the presale. That date looks likely to be the first of August. You are #230 on our contact list so it may be some time before you hear from us, depending on demand. Please know that we will be doing our best to get a tank to every customer who wants one as soon as possible."

Yep, jumping from a 34 gallon to a 58 gallon tank will be worth it for me. I pull a 43' long 5th wheel that's 13' 5" tall every other weekend for 5 months a year. I have to choose my gas stations carefully to make sure I can get in and out, and under the canopy... surprising how many are out there with signs says "12' something" - and yet with only 34 gallons, I can't be too picky. I average 8 miles per gallon on Wisconsin interstates, getting down to a 1/4 tank makes me a little nervous. An approximate 70% increase in capacity and therefore range is worth 2k to me.
