32 Gallon Tank Upgrade

[DtheBC]

The Ecodiesel tank wont work. I did that research when looking to do mine.

I had an issue with the handle of the pump kicking out after a few seconds until I got pissed, and did rude things, and cursed a lot, until I found if I bend the top of the rubber "anti-splash" cover on the pump handle down as I stick the hose in (this just keeps getting worse!), it sits right in my 26 gallon tank.
But debating the 32, as the Ram is now my project truck/the family road trip vehicle. (work gave me a silverado, and we don't do a lot normally that isn't "on the way home" kind of ****.) The 32 would be nice for visiting her dad in FL.

If you mean the actual weight of the fuel tanks empty it can’t be more than a few pounds at most. When I replaced my 26 gallon tank I was surprised how light the all plastic tanks are.

6 gallons around 6lbs per gallon so 36lbs plus maybe 2-3 lbs for the tank itself so a full tank maybe 40lbs heavier.

Yeah was just curious empty tanks themselves. Sounds like there's really no deterent to make the swap

LOL, if I had a 32 gallon tank I'd be driving around with year-old gas. My 2018 has 3150 miles on it...

I am adding a 72 Gal AUX tank to the Bed of my 2021 Ecodiesel. This
will give me 105 Gallons on board. The Best Mileage I have gotten was
28.5 mpg. So, this will give me about a 3000 mile range.

I did mine a couple years ago. Was a breeze. Tank was $100. And a 1.5 hr ride each way. Made a day date with the wife and found a good restaurant. I think the issue with filling is a faulty back flow prevention valve which can happen on any size tank. They looked identical in each tank.

...or the vent is restricted.

I found I have to turn and swing the pump handle tight against the bed of the truck while pumping, if it is straight in it will stop pumping instantly on many pumps. Sometimes I swing it to the left (against the cap door), other times against the right side.
