2017 2.7, want to upgrade my fuel tank to 36 Gal
I've been searching online for a 36 gallon tank to replace my 23. I haven't been able to find one and not sure if it's possible. Any help or direction to look would be appreciated.

I found this on another forum from A/Ox4
"Yes, I did the tank swap from the 23 gal to the 36 gal. It is very easy, just takes patience and elbow grease. You will need a new tank (including a heat shield if the tankdoesnt come with one) and the fuel pump from a 36 gallon tank. The fuel pump on the 23 gallon tank is different. Other than that, its all a direct swap including electrical and fuel lines. I found my tank used on car-part.com. All said and done, it cost me about $150."

Wow, sincerely thank you so much for all of the input! I found a tank from LKQ. They are going to deliver it to my local yard for me to go take a look at before I buy it. I’m anxious to upgrade this tank! For the most part, I’m good with the 360 miles or so I get out of the tank however whenever I pull my camper my mileage drops to about 11 miles to the gallon so I’m only barely getting 180 before I need to fill it up. I’m anxious to go 300 with the camper in tow.

Correct, I called Transfer Flow. They have 2018-2021
49 gallon Tanks avail. Just not for the 2017. Idk what changed. I just picked up the 36 Gal from LKQ. Now Waiting on the fuel pump.
Can you imagine a 49 Gal under bed tank though!?! $175 to fill it up. Haha

Not quite that bad here yet - regular 87 E10 is $2.41 to $2.69. Premium 91 E10 can be found as low as $2.85 but most places are over 3 bucks. If you want no ethanol, it's only legal to sell 91 E0 in Missouri, it's $3.35 and up.
