Getting Titan fuel tank.

davidw221 · Feb 8, 2015

I'm getting a Titan fuel tank installed by the dealership on the 17th, they are charging me $1397. with tax, my question is that normal for the tank and labor?
Can't wait, tired of going to the gas station all the time!
Next project fuel filter system!

Which tank is it?

You will pretty much drop at least a grand just on parts.

I am doing one soon. Local stealership wants 300 to install if I bring them the tank. Amazon runs the 50 gal tank for 1100 and change with free shipping, last time I checked.

not sure about your wrenching skills, but the tank swap is very very easy.

5010060

is that the number you need?

never mind, it is a bed mount, listed locally here

I don't have a garage to do the work in, so I'm hosed on that one, the particular tank i'm going for is the 37 gallon replacement tank for a 2012 F350 SB, CC. I can't stand the 26 gallon one the factory installed.

37 gallon ?

Dzchey21 · Feb 8, 2015

sounds resonable to me esp if the tank is full ect. Plus while its there they can calibrate the miles to empty calculator based on the new capacity.

any downsides to this? Warranty issue with a non ford tank? My 25gal tank is not going to cut it this summer? Clearance issues with air bags, gooseneck, ouo traction bars?

Ipkyss · Feb 8, 2015

the only one on the website is a 50gal? https://titanfueltanks.com/shop/fuel_tanks/ford-crew-cab-short-bed-super-series-2011-2012/

I use a transferflow 50gal replacement and have no issues with b&w gooseneck, air bags or pmf traction bars.

Mcgrath7 · Feb 8, 2015

I have the Titan in my 15, I have a b&w and no problems, hangs about 1 inch lower than a factory tank... If I remember right it is longer towards the front of the truck since the def tank is between it and the rear axle.. If I remember right

That makes since. Not trying to take from the original post. Just figured it was easier to ask questions here. Can the dealer get the fuel gauge/dte correct or close?

I lied, 36 gallon!!!

davidw221 · Feb 8, 2015

I don't know what the hell I'm talking about it's a 50 gallon, sorry folks

Only downside I have found, dealer can't change the fuel capacity in the dash, so range is off. I did a homemade extra vent per the instructions. Doesn't puke on me when I fill it up, which is nice.
