New fuel tank installed

[Biker bill]

I can relate to diesel fill up cost. Before my Montana I had a dutchstar motorhome with a 150 gallon tank.

I had a KSH aux tank made at KSH in Lake Havasu AZ. It fits under my Truck Cover USA roll top canister and holds 60 GAL... best accessory I ever purchased for long range travel.... Fuel was 2.29 in Kernville Calif yesterday, no special card needed.

We went to Alaska last year and had no issues with diesel at any time. We have a 48 gallon tank and the rule when we were planning the trip was up to 400 miles per day. (We broke it a few times). You'll pay more in Canada, but can always find it.
Also, the Alaska Highway was not as bad as its reputation. Heard we should have multiple spares but never had an issue. We had an air compressor and generator with us in case they were needed. The road is better in Canada than in Alaska. Just take your time, it's a beautiful drive. Please don't look at the scenery too much if you're the driver because there's not much berm in a lot of places.

Interesting. Do you own a Ford or a Ram.
Part number you mentioned is for Ford.
I have the one for Ram and it’s 55 gallons, the biggest one they make.
Just wondering if they now have a larger model

I am considering upgrading my fuel tank from 37.5 gallons to 57 gallons. Transfer Flow, $1495 plus install. We usually keep our daily drive within the range of the 37.5 gallon tank, about 300 miles. That would not change with the larger tank. I don’t need to drive 500 miles in a single day. Bladder can’t handle it. Currently, the first thing I have to do after setting up camp is find a gas station. With the larger tank, that would no longer be a priority.

One more thing. I am NOT the weight police, but...the added weight of the extra fuel, although it would be a reduced weight as you drive, would be equivalent to carrying an extra passenger in your truck. More so if you have an aux tank. Those on the ragged weight edge might consider that.

Just a thought. From my experiences of multiple trips to and from Alaska. You are correct , usually you will find fuel when needed. But things change in the more remote areas. We had always stopped at the same place for fuel. On one trip there had been a wild fire and the station and most everything was gone. I had 1 5gallon fuel jug that save us - on total fumes by the time we found fuel. I have learned to top off when I can after a couple similar experiences.
