I did speak with an engineer at TFI and was told that they don't have a system that would refuel and connect to the OEM tank.
It is certainly possible, IMHO, but I think it likely goes against the criteria that TFI had to meet to get DOT's blessing.
Sure glad to read the good report about your system, begger.
I figure I'll have to go with this 100 gallon refueling tank and then have it plumbed into the stock tank. That way the refueling pump is recessed, which is an idea that I like as it protects the pump and filter.

I assume that onces it starts coming down off of full the miles to empty will adjust some but it wont be accurate because it is based off of a 30 gallon tank. I always use the fuel gauge over the miles to empty anyway since if I am driving highway I get 14-16 and in town I get 10-12, and when and tow I get about 8-9 mpg. I just need to figure out how many gallons I have at 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4 as I am still on my first tank of gas.

There websight explains a little how to reprogram a pre-08 to the correct tank size. My guess is that you need to do the same for the 08's. Might need to ask them how to do it for an 08
