For those wondering, the 8" is the correct level sensor and the threaded hole he recommends to mount it to is almost too big. You need to very careful to center the sensor it in the spinwelded bung so you have enough flange to get the screws in w/o interfering with the sensor hole. ALSO THIS TANK DOES NOT WORK WITH 170EXT WITHOUT MODIFYING THE SPARE TIRE CAGE HINGE MOUNTS OR MAKING YOUR OWN HINGES, AND EVEN THEN DOESN'T FIT LEVEL OR 100% PROPERLY!!!! Unfortunately realized that after drilling out for the level sensor........ but I will persevere and get it right. Hope that helps someone.

I may be in the minority...but I have installed a Backwoods Adv Mods Nomad Rear Bumper, which is lower than the pinch weld you show for mounting the hose. I'd need that mounting bracket 3" taller to bring the hose fitting down so the hose doesn't kink when filling. I suppose I'll just bolt on another plate as an extension unless you have another idea.

[@nomadicsupply]

Hey Cayman! How are you gravity filling this tank into the bottom of the tank? Wouldn’t the water pressure start to push the water back up the hose before the tank ever got completely full? Wouldn’t you have to fill through the top of the tank, not the bottom?

[@binyamj]

My thoughts exactly. This doesn’t seem to have been done correctly.

[@RNG_Anarchist]

Also its ports are on the exhaust side

[@joepfankuch2350]

Wouldn't the water pressure coming in be > pressure to push air out the vent at the top?

[@conscientiousdefector]

Excellent video. Power tools are a good thing.😂 What recommendations do you have if I would like to insulate it?

[@tolzidan]

You mentioned 6", 7" and 8" for the sending unit, which one should I get to pair with my tank (I have this tank on order).

[@billfelinski2428]

I'm getting conflicting information on ecommerce sites and this video on which vehicles this will fit. I have a 2022 Sprinter 170 Dually with a receiver hitch. In this video I hear it will fit. Can I please get confirmation? Thank you!

[@SBFilters]

@@billfelinski2428 it will fit with oem hitch

Hey S&B team. I have your 45gal sprinter tank and love it. My van is mostly for track day support and I was thinking about putting this tank on my sprinter to put gasoline in it for my track car. Obviously I need to think of a way to safely pump fuel in/out but would the tank itself should be safe for fuel???

[@SBFilters]

Hello- unfortunately it won’t work for gas. We appreciate your interest though

[@RichardFermion]

@@SBFilters Thanks for the quick reply. Just an idea for future product. Nudge nudge. Seriously there are a handful of track guys that are using sprinter vans for track day support. This would be killer (thought you'd need larger fill ports/empty ports for fuel and you'd want them NOT on the exhaust side ideally)

[@kubanakanEbay]

Could you list the required sending unit? The large threaded holes are more like 1 3/4 " not 1 1/2" please advise

[@SBFilters]

they are 1.5" NPT which is actually larger than 1.5"

[@joepfankuch2350]

I 2nd this: Which sending unit for a 144 (Revel) and why the front and not the middle port? The middle seems more accurate?

[@paulgibbons7785]

Will this fit a 2024 revel van?

[@SBFilters]

Yes sir

[@benjaminnguyen2604]

Would this fit a Sprinter 170 with factory hitch?

[@DrivePhysio]

I haven't fully installed mine yet, but today I test fit it. It's snug, but it does fit. '23 170 Sprinter with factory hitch and side step.

[@aldp6878]

@@DrivePhysio did you get a chance to instal it? Any other modifications to make it fit? Thanks!

[@DrivePhysio]

It’ll be a few days before I get it fully installed and plumbed in. I have L track mounted right above where the tanks sits, and the bolts coming through the floor were contacting the tank when it was all the way up. I just used a dremel to cut them flush with the lock nuts, and that gave me enough room. Other than that, it seems like it will be straightforward. There are threaded holes for fill and drain (or to the pump) on both right and left sides, so it should be easy to plumb the lines to it.

[@aldp6878]

Great thanks for the update!

[@aldp6878]

@@DrivePhysio how did the installation go? Any interference problems with the factory hitch? Thanks Al
