Hhhhhhhhh

Little late, but nobody makes upgrade tanks for gas due to EPA requirements. :(

@@MrThisIsMeToo yes they do. Have you even checked the websites?

Little late, but FYI, nobody makes upgrade tanks for gas vehicles due to EPA restrictions. not even Titan.

​@@MrThisIsMeToo this video your watching is for gasoline tanks. Several companies make gasoline tanks. They just don't make expansion tanks or in bed tanks for gasoline.

​@@lonewanderer3603 Mud on my face. Been somewhat in the business for a couple of decades and it was always the EPA getting in the way. It was the evap system for gas certification or something like that, that got in the way. Something must of changed regulation wise or somebody figured out how to work it out simply. Thanks for the correction. If you want fuel for a Ram, just buy a chassis with up to 77 gallons stock. :)

@@MrThisIsMeToo I think it's because these are actually complete replacement tanks that they are allowed. They don't allow in bed tanks for gasoline because of accidents and also they can't be plumbed to the main tank the way diesel expansion tanks can. And it's a DOT rule, not EPA. You could be thinking of something different from me, but that's the reason I've always understood in bed tanks and expansion tanks weren't allowed for gasoline. Although they will allow you to have a loose tank that's strapped in, for some reason that makes no sense to me. Maybe they'd rather see the tank ejected away from the vehicle in an accident. Who knows. The government is often illogical. Cheers.

@@lonewanderer3603 From my old understanding, if they changed the size of the replacement tank, the evap system had to be recertified. That was always my belief as to what the hurdle was. I have always been under the assumption that no flammable (i.e. gas) drip tanks and such is a DOT violation, not EPA.

I don’t have one personally, but lots of people have them where I am in Ontario

You really think a few hundred pounds of weight is going to affect mileage in a 7000 lb truck?

It’s only like 250lbs of fuel added over stock.

Difference is negligible when it’s already a 7000 lb brick. What’s really gonna cut your gas mileage down is pulling a trailer-especially any kind of box trailer.

Look up the forscan forums. You can find someone there. Fwiw I just watched some TH-cam videos and did online reading before using forscan myself. It’s not too bad. Just save default before you start and change one thing at a time.

Did you ever get your DTE reprogrammed with Forscan?

This is what im wondering.. whats the difference? Physically?

I just installed in on my 2011 ram 2500

Really because when I try to do it for my 5.7 Hemi it doesn't show it was compatible

@@KingManga360 might be more due to the gas factor

I live just outside Raleigh so it’s not a long hike to Indian Trails. Can I ask what they charged you to install?

On top of the initial cost of the tank there is also shipping of the tank from California to Indian Trail then there’s the installation fee plus taxes on top of all that. If memory serves me correctly, I think it was around $4000 give or take. Give buddy a call at Rowells and tell him you spoke to me and I’m sure he’ll give you a hand with all the numbers. We had two technicians that were installing the system and it took less than three hours. One of the technicians came out and showed my wife how to do the forscan to update the miles to empty estimate in the correct gallons being recognized in the computer. It was a piece of cake.

One more thing I forgot to say is that I don’t regret the decision to buy this tank one bit. It has completely done away with a range anxiety towing our fifth wheel. With the tank we’re getting more than 400 miles on a fill and that is really nice.

Joe how did you get your truck calibrated to read the correct miles to empty? I filled the truck up and it said 303 miles to empty. i ran it to empty and got about 75 mile on empty. i was hoping to get more out a 58 gallon tank.

@@jorgeguerra9778 Jorge The technicians at Rowells used FORSCAN From a laptop, plugged it into the ODBII port under the steering wheel, and it was done in less than a minute. On average when we fill up our tank, the miles to empty estimate is very close to 700 miles. Mind you that is unloaded with no RV attached. With the RV attached the reading with a full tank is usually just over 400. Hope this helps.

Looking for a answer on this.

This is only for gas not diesel. They do make them for diesel.

Give buddy at Rowells a call. They are located in Indian Trail. Just south east of Charlotte. I am getting ours installed this Friday.

@@joeallison2779 cool, that place is about 15 mins from me. Thanks

@@whit10mm72 we have a carbonize gray F350 crew cab, so will be easy to recognize if you stop by Rowells on Friday. They have done numerous transfer flu tank installs.

@@joeallison2779 If you don't mind let me know how you like it after install. I'm still on the fence with the 7.3 and the diesel. Leaning 7.3 but they are not easy to find right now. Crossroads in Indian Trail got a big delivery on diesels a couple weeks ago. How's the 7.3 doing for you? Thanks

The installation of the fuel tank today only took about three hours since we had two technicians doing the job. This is not an inexpensive upgrade by the way, but having extended range when towing sure is nice. We have just over 2000 miles now on the 7.3 and I am very impressed with the engine. We have the 430 gears and on the highway we get close to 14 not towing anything and driving about 75 mph. We didn’t want to diesel mainly because of the noise the smell and the high cost of ownership being at least $10,000 over the cost of the 7.3. Our F350 is a lariat, 4 x 4 crew cab and does not have the FX4 package or the tremor. I can tell you with an 11,000 pound fifth wheel we were getting roughly 7.3 to 7.4 miles to a gallon at roughly 63 to 65 mph. This was the main reason we got the larger tank installed so we would not have range anxiety. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more thoughts or questions.

Thank you, Jay!

Do you do landscaping? If you did get this setup could you share a pic?

I have this system and have used it in a lot of areas of Montana with no cell signal. The system works without any cellular connectivity. The pump system operates off of the data from the truck's ODBII connection to measure the primary tank's level, then transfers around 3 gallons when it's < 1/2 full. The app is really just an initial configuration utility to set your truck's primary tank size. After that, it functions as a remote fuel gauge via Bluetooth connection to the tank's controller, nothing else. You just need connectivity to download it, then it's all offline. I've had mine for around a year and a half, and it's always worked flawlessly. I also never receive any of the fuel gauge errors you read about on the forums with gravity-fed systems. I would 100% recommend it!

We just added our installation video of this fuel tank system.
