Thanks for the quick reply, I probably should have stated right up front rather than having it buried in the message is that this is a 2005 Excursion with 6.0 in it. It already has a 40+ gallon tank, I just want a lot more than that, and this is the only solution I have found. And, it is going to cost me over $2000 for the tank and filler neck alone, so $2-300 for the transfer switch is no biggie to me at this point. I would like it to appear (and Operate!) as OEM as possible, so I was wondering if in 2005 they had double tanks on the F250HD/350s that this truck is based upon, and if I could scrounge the boneyards or online to get most of the parts I need to install this and make it appear almost an OEM installation? I doubt anyone has done this before, so I am going to be the guinea pig, but, How Hard Can It Be? ;-) lol
At least the tank and the filler are designed to work together, and they are bolt in pieces. Well, the tank anyways, got to get the hole saw out for the filler neck. The rest of it is all up to me, but since this thing is based upon the F series, that should hopefully make it at least a _little_ more doable... Hopefully. But, I guess I will find out, because I am going to do it. Another 40 gals of fuel will be a great thing on a road trip.
alha,
The dual tank setup died in 97 with the OBS body. When Ford started making the SuperDuty Trucks in 99 and the Excursion in 2000-2005, they ONLY had a single tank. The F-Series Pickup Bed trucks, have a midship tank on the drivers side, and fill from a single filler toward the front of the bed on the drivers side, which allowed them to keep the spare tire mounted under the rear of the truck, like the older trucks do. The Excursion and Cab and Chassis F-Series have the aft mounted fuel tank, between the rear axle and the bumper. The spare is inside the cabin of the Excursion, which allows for the 44 gallon tank stock on them. The C&C got a 30-something gallon tank in the same aft position.
Not sure if you could use an F-series Pickup midship tank, and adapt it to the Excursion.....
You must really rack up the miles wanting that much fuel.... I made a trip this weekend, and I am 550+ miles into this tank, and still have a quarter tank left...... Personally, for what I do, 44 is enough.......
BTW - This is on my 03 Excursion 6.0......
