1000 Miles on one S&B Tank of Fuel - Tow Rig Tech

Now don't get me wrong I really like my 2013 Ford F250 Super Duty with the 6.7 Powerstroke Diesel engine but the one thing I absolutely hate about it is the tiny fuel tank. 26 gallons is not enough fuel when you are hauling as you average about 200 miles between fill ups. Well S&B tanks has the solution. A 56 gallon replacement S&B tank that goes in the stock location thus over doubling your fuel mileage without sacrificing bed space. Winning! So this time on Tow Rig Tech we are going to install this mega tank and show you how to reprogram your computer to adjust for it! I won't get into the whole S&B tanks vs Titan fuel tanks as they both seem to be quality products with good reviews. The 6.7 powerstroke fuel tank removal step is the hardest part as the vent and feed line on the sending unit can be a pain but after that is was smooth sailing for us. After installing this F250 replacement fuel tank I can tell you that S&B obviously knows what they are doing. I didn't get my truck all the way full but after some driving is said 873 miles to empty and stayed there for a long time so it is possible we can see as much as 1000 Miles to Empty on one tank! Let us know what we should do next in our pursuit for the ultimate tow rig build.

Fuel capacity has never been a liming factor for me as far as stops when traveling are concerned. My wife's bladder is the limiting factor. So if I had a thousand gallon tank, I would still be stopping every two or so hours.

I used to have a 4.2 jaguar with twin tanks, one on each side, standard from the factory (3.2 and 3.6 models had a single) and it was wonderful for long trips. And back in the short lived fuel crisis 10-15 years ago I used it as a temporary tank for my 2 smaller cars. Just roll the jag between 2 fuel islands at the garage after waiting ages to get in, fill up both sides at once while dozens of people glared at me, then get home and empty it into the smaller (and much more fuel efficient!) cars while fuel was pricey Worth it just for the dirty looks I got 👌 sitting on the trunk with 2 gas handles into the back of it is a great feeling lol

[@springvalley50]

What brand tanks did you use for that setup?

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

Smart thing to have done is mark on the bed where the fuel pump is located. Cut out a section large enough for the fuel pump to be pulled out. Add a rim along the panel you cut out with a thin gasket glued to the rim and then screw the panel back into place. Then if the fuel pump fails in the future, which they inevitable do somewhere in the middle of no-place, you can easily replace the fuel pump with the tank full and in place.

I believe there is a limit on fule tanks I believe it is 35 gallon definitely from factory but obviously not after you get it home

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

@@daveherrmann113 that’s the first I have heard on there being a limit

[@alexthebeard9765]

@@daveherrmann113 there's no limit on fuel tank size. But, fuel tank size is limited to the space available, tank survivability in a crash and other factors. That 56 gallon tank won't pass any crash testing. Also, with that tank being lower and more square, stone pecking will be an issue.

My '02 Powerstroke has the 39 gallon tank stock which I feel is plenty big. It's one of the things I love most about the truck. It gets 20 mpg when empty so in theory almost 800 miles range although I never drive it empty, I have a car for that. It lets me buy the cheapest fuel using the Gas Buddy app and it really does save a lot of money. I can cross a whole state that has expensive fuel and buy it in a cheaper state instead. My wife's bladder is also the limiting factor for range but we usually have the camper on the truck when she's in it so that means just stopping anywhere.

Must be a long bed

[@alexkram]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo that is correct, and that is the other thing I love about my truck.

Is there a priming process you have to do when you get all the fuel lines hooked up to the new tank? I thought you don't want any air running through diesels?

turn the key on and let the pump cycle a few times, it bleeds itself.

They lied on the specification label for my truck when I bought it used. They put down the larger sized factory tank that was offered with 2005 F-350's. I could never justify the cost of this tank upgrade, though, I don't consume fuel that fast. But 26 gallons is a bit low. I have put 29 gallons in my tank quite often, it just takes extra time to put the last 2-3 gallons into the tank.

Great video, short and to the point, no excess nonsense. What is the magnetic water bottle holder on the side of your bed for? I was thinking that is where you store your fuel treatment? To keep the smell out of your cab? (why not 0n the inside of the bed if that were the case?)

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

If you buy a truck bed fuel tank or like a Northern Tool fuel and tool calculate how much it weighs when it’s full and presumably sitting in the front of the bed, especially in a half ton or compact truck. 4 years ago I had 1000 pounds of sand bags in the very front of the bed of my Ranger Supercab and the frame bent a little bit on the left side between the cab and bed. The owners manual says to evenly distribute weight in the truck bed.

good thing this is a HD truck meant for hauling

Yes I’ve owned everything from Rangers, F150’s, F250’s, F350’s to a 71 F600 and the frames are different.
