Just saw some folks wishing for more fuel. So, I'll pass along my fix: a 45 gal Transferflow fuel tank.
Last week I spent about 6 hours dropping out the 26 gal pee-wee out of my x-cab and jacking in a 45 gal replacement. It looked a bit daunting: 6.5ft and 150lbs of tank. But, it's a one man swap if you have a floor jack, scissor jack, jack stand and a few hand tools.
When I filled it, it took a little better than 46 gals.
The list is $750. With a RV shop discount, I paid a bit more than $650 including shipping.
My 4x4 got 19.6 on a 450 mile trip so I figure if I keep my foot out of it, I'm good for better than 800 miles now. I expect better than half that with my 5th wheel.
