DPF deleted & tuned what to do with DEF tank ?

What has anyone else done w their DEF tank after performing a tune and delete?

I got the shibby block off plugs for now. I would be nice to repurpose the tank...ideally if I had need or use for methanol injection I suppose.

Any suggestions or experiences removal leave in place ect.

Not from personal experience but most times I have heard that the tank is left in place just in case the truck is traded in or sold and you have to put all that stuff back on the tank is there. Not sure what benefit it is to remove it as long as its drained and plugged.

I left it in place. I've actually never laid eyes on the thing.

I pulled mine, four bolts I believe. And fished out the plumbing to tidy it up. I also pulled the EGR cooler, and sold if for a few hundred CAD. Not that there is any benefit to losing the weight, but why keep it there if it isn’t for any use. If resale is a concern, keep it on a shelf.

I haven't removed mine yet, but if I ever get around to putting air horns on it, I've heard the DEF tank is a great place to put an air tank.
