Replacement fuel tanks

Anybody running larger replacement fuel tanks in their trucks?
What brands are you using, capacities, quality of tank/install?

Kenny, that's pretty slick, but where does your exhaust run?

There's somebody selling a 60 gallon tank that takes the place of the original. It's a nice piece, but at nearly a grand, I wasn't interested. Might have seen it in a magazine or something.

Transfer flow and Aerotanks both make replacement midship tanks that are larger. If you do a search there was another place that made a larger poly tank as well but I cannot remember the name of that company

I have a transfer flow 57 gallon tank, and I love it. The only issue there is THEY love it as well. I was in Ca. and went to Transfer flow and had them do the install, and they fill it up with fuel so they can set the sender unit. All in all very happy, Tank, Install, 50 gallons of fuel = $1300+.
Do it again, yes I would. On the road I am getting 1000+ miles from a tank leaving some fudge room. Fuel is so expensive, the price will vary 10-30 cents per gallon. It allows you to be a better shopper.
The quality of the product they make and sell is as good as it gets.
You will have no worries about failure with transfer flow.

It depends on what type of tank you get. The areo, transfer flow and the xx tanks are replacement tanks that go in the stock location that just have larger capacities. Transfer flow used to have not sure if they still do that was 45 gals that went where the spare tire goes or as shown previously above you can make your own and put there. There is also the option of putting one in your bed however for some like myself or the original poster that is not an option as I need all the bed space for other things.
