I picked up a 36 gallon tank somewhat local to me from a guy on FB. Said he only ran a few tanks through it. Saved about 40% over buying a full new setup

swap is plug and play + reprogram













I was surprised how much taller the tank is in the fuel pump area too



Very glad to have the lift at work for this, as well as the fuel transfer tank/pump




I then reconfigured the truck using Forscan, still waiting for the DTE to relearn to my driving habits/fuel economy

 

Very neat!

My next truck will have the largest fuel tank available.

 

I have the 36 in my '17, I fill it, then look at 700 plus miles on the DTE display on the highway.
Went to the mts and back this weekend, 250 mile round trip, plenty left for work this week and another trip back to the mts. next weekend. Gas in Morganton, NC was 2.50/gal.

 

It was on my wish list, but not a necessity when I bought the truck. Stumbled on a good deal for the tank, so It was time to get it done

 

What all did you have to move over from the old tank to new tank?

I wonder if this would be a "plug and play/reprogram" for my 2017 2.7 EcoBoost SuperCrew with 5.5' bed. I haven't seen a 2.7 Eco w/ 36 gallon tank on any dealer lots around my house. Would make for a very long-range hauler!

 

Mine came with pump and sending unit in it already, but those would be purchased separately if you bought new. As well as sealing Oring and locking ring on top.

Mine didn't come with the heat shield that runs on the side of the tank. So I modified my existing one to be reused.

It uses all factory pipes, factory tank straps, factory filler neck all that!


I'd be willing to bet yours is Plug and Play + program as well

 

I dont believe you could simply transfer the tank internals over. The new tank was 1/2" taller, so I assume they have different internals. A quick call to your local Ford dealer would clear that up

But not '15-17?

 

The OP said he had to use Forscan to reconfigure for the 36 gal tank. Can The truck be reprogrammed for a 50 gal tank?

 

Yes it can from what I can understand. Let's try and keep this on topic tho

 

Very cool. What led you to do the upgrade? Do you do a lot of long trips?

 

Occasionally tow a heavy trailer for Boy Scouts, added capacity is nice for towing/hauling.

I'm now going 3-4 weeks without buying gas on my normal commute

 

That's great! I had a lot of great times camping with the Scouts when I was a kid.

 

Where do I get all I need to do the reprogramming myself, what all and cost. ?
I have my new 36 gallon tank complete and ready to install in my 2019 F-150 Lariat.
Thanks Mike
