(08/25/09) How many times do you fuel your truck in a week?

Dave, do you have the 42 gal tank in your Burb?

 

[dangerousdave]

42 or 46; don't remember. I get great mileage, though.

I remember my 98 2500 Burb had a 42 gal tank. I sure wish I had that in my 07. It is only 28 gal.

Barry, you actually have a 26 gallon tank in your truck now. With the short beds, really got no option. I think the long beds came with a 34. I have never once put more than 21 gallons in my truck either.

Thanks Nick, I have been thinking about the Titan 52 gal fuel tank for 2500 CCSB

But the price is way up there and I don't know if i can justify it to myself.:rolleyes5:

Steve (rydnhi4x4) has one of those tanks but I dont think its a 52 gallon. I dont actually remember how big it is but it can be kind of a PITA because the fuel gauge wont be accurate after that. Supposedly, EFI live is the only tuning device that can recalibrate for the larger tank. I know on his that when you're reading empty, you still have 10 or 12 gallons left.

Shoot, I have that problem with the stock tank and pickup. It is all relative until you get use to each individual tank.

I am not sold on the EFI Live yet and will have to think about that. Thanks for the input.

I fill it when it gets down to about 25 gals, which could be as often as every other day on a trip, or every two months when I'm not doing much. Oh yea, a fill is somewhere between 110 and 120 gallons. 134 tank capacity.

I ended up in a long distance "pursuit" in my '05 patrol rig ECSB a few years ago. I had planned on filling up at the last gas station before heading up the 70+ miles of remote highway back home. Nooooo, instead I went flying by at 99mph code3 chasing a car. Low fuel light came on 40 miles later. Finally met up with backup from Montana HP 30 miles later who spiked the car etc etc. By the time I gassed up I put 26.8 gallons in. I think I was on the last fume judging by my gas gauge that practically fell out the door it was so empty.

Personal rig has 34 gallon. It's nice unless it's close to empty (something I usually don't let happen). I stand at the pump for a long time.

Well, I found another tank besides Titan and it's price is in the same ball park as the Titan. Ouch!! $1K+ is a pretty stiff prive to double the stock tank size but, thw convenience is the major factor and when we go out West we don't stick to the Interstate if we have other options and the time.

I guess i will have to go back to work so I get make my truck the way I want.
