Having one of these tanks installed on my truck as we speak! Can't wait to pick it up in the morning, recalculate with forscan and enjoy the extended range. My last truck i installed a 68 gallon in bed push button transfer tank. It was nice holding the button for 2 minutes and my truck would go from E to full. Fillups once every 3-4 weeks. Had that luxury for 5 years. Now with this truck and the 34 gallon tank, it drives me nuts I have to stop once a week for a fillup, and when pulling the camper alot more frequent. Last year pulling out to Mass. we had a issue with lack of fuel range. We passed the last major pulloff fuel station without stopping, like an idiot. I had such a issue finding a gas station that i would be able to get myself into and out of. I was down to 15 miles to E before i finally found a station. To say the girlfriend was freaking out was an understatement HAHA.

It really is as easy/hard as it looks. That's pretty subjective I guess. Worst part for me was squeezing the fuel and vent hoses back on the fuel filler neck assy. And even that was no biggie after spraying a little grease on the neck. 2-3 hour job if you're not filming... ;)

You're going to love it. One thing to consider is to not remove the fuel filler neck assembly from the truck first. Just leave it bolted in and loosen the hose clamps to remove the hoses. I've done this three times now and prefer having the fuel filler neck assy rigid and not flopping around.

Thanks for the video. Did mine today on my 2019 F350 with the B&W GooseBall. What a job. I had a little to much fuel in it. Should of driven some more before starting. It took me way longer to accomplish and I feel I’m pretty competent. The filler hose took awhile to disconnect and also the fuel line with the yellow connector. That thing was almost impossible to separate. Took a little finessing on the front U bolts to slide over the right side 90* bend to the inside. I should of studied the directions a little more on the rectangular spacers on where they went. I didn’t feel like it was up far enough for the skid plate to fit at first so I lowered it back down thinking the vent tube was wedged up in there somehow. Realized it couldn’t go up anymore I rerouted the vent hose along the top of the crossmember. Seems to be fine like that. I used the strap method like you along with an adjustable motorcycle stand which was the perfect height. Can’t wait to fill it up at $5.00 a gallon. LGB 🤣

Install is a bit more difficult on the 2012 due to the fuel fittings being on top of the tank, but looks doable without a lift. Thanks for posting this.

Took me about six hours laying on the ground in the yard. Had a little trouble with the fuel filter screw and one of the fuel line clips too. Why can't they just use the same clip on all of them? Mine had three different kinds of clips! 😆 Seems as though I'm only able to get 55 gallons in the tank when I went to fill it up. What's your experience with filling it?

Great job on the installation, it's really not that big of a deal. Interesting about that filter screw. I helped a buddy and we ran into the same thing. Ended up just putting a longer screw in.

You'll love the capacity on the long haul trips.

These trucks are definitely taller than the previous model, and those seemed tall. My fifth wheel fits great but the axles are flipped on it giving the trailer about 4 inches of extra height. I'm still using a B&W companion using the Ford fifth wheel prep sockets in the bed.

So far so good. The tank is at least as well built as OEM and I can't foresee any type of failure as it has no moving parts. It's only job is to hold a lot of fuel and it does it well. We just got back from a 2,200 mile trip and it's impossible to overstate how important it is to have extra capacity on a run like that.

In your opinion, would having the bed removed make this tank swap easier for a DIY'er?

Hi, I like you videos, in fact I have the same truck and I just purchased the same fuel tank, I have no installed yet, but when I come to to one my friend he pointed on something that is going to happen, but you are the best to confirm my suspect, when you fill up the fuel at maximum capacity the truck looks more lowered or not equal height at side? Done by the weight of the fuel?
@EpicCowlick
@EpicCowlick 3 жыл бұрын
I haven't noticed the truck sagging on the tank side due to weight of the fuel. The tank does hang down one inch lower than factory so it doews look different driver side to passenger side if you view it that way.

This tank comes with 1 inch spacers for the brackets so that's pretty certain. When I measured 3/4 inches it was before it had it's first full tank. The weight of the full tank helps it sit down into the brackets and yields the full one inch drop.

@EpicCowlick
@EpicCowlick 3 жыл бұрын
I wish I had taken the measurement on video and removed all doubt. It's easy to think through though. S&B provides a 1 inch spacer and reuses the factory straps. Therefore, the actual position of the strap cannot be more than 1 inch lower than factory. The quarter inch difference is probably due to the new tank still having a concave shape on the bottom. Over time it rounds out with the weight of the fuel and ends up the same shape as OEM.
