Don't get down into the States often, eh? We have plenty of stretches down here where the distance between stations could be farther than a 26 gl tank could get, especially if one is hauling a trailer. If there is a station located alongside the highway on a stretch like that, I guarantee they will be $0.30 to $0.80 higher than elsewhere. Paying $0.50 more for, say, 20 gl will add another $10 to the bill. Also, many stations along lonely stretches of road can be pretty scary at night. I've used a bush alongside the road rather than stop at some stations I've seen because of the characters I've seen hanging out there. Not all stations are easy to get in and out of when driving a screw with 20 to 30 feet of trailer tagging along behind. Believe me, that extra 10 gallons of go juice would be mighty welcome at times.

 

Just because you have a bigger tank doesn't mean you have to keep it filled while in town. Condensation from a partially filled tank is nowhere near the problem it used to be. If it does become a problem, there are additives you can put in that will take care of it. For that matter, the alcohol many areas put in gas now will take care of it.

 

Interesting. I read an article that said "Heat" aditive was a waste of money as it didn't work for water removal or freezing in the wintertime. The article said to save your money. Being it is pure alcohol, I wonder what is true.

 

I thought the capless gas filler fixed the evap problem...

 

I drive 80 miles a day (assuming no side trips), and normally work 6 days a week. (550 or so miles a week) My current ride (Honda Civic) gets nice mileage (30mpg) but the tiny 11 gallon tank means I need gas every three days. (I fill up at about 280 miles, usally). My old truck (97, 4.2l) got about 350 miles a tank. Ecoboost at 19-20mpg combined (what I optimistically expect it to get), will get almost 500 miles per 26 gallon tank (assuming you fill up with 1-2 gallons left in the tank)

It would be nice to be able to drive all week, not worry about side trips, and fill up only on the weekends at my favorite station... But that would take the 36 gallon tank.

 

I like that alot and would cure all the issues plus a tool box

 

Those toolbox tanks are only for diesels.

 

LoL, where? Name 1 place

 

I suspect when you hear banjos playing, you may have a issue?

 

I have been all through where banjos play and you can find a gas station when you need one. Even the most desolate places like in the desert of arizona and utah you can find one within 300 miles of driving

 

I drive minimum of 70 miles a day for work, and have to time getting to town for fuel according to the weather forecast. Heavy snow and wind forecasted, get to town fast. With the 36 gallon tank it would make it less stressful to try and dodge the snow storms. I contacted Ford and here is the reply I got. "Thank you for contacting Ford Motor Company on 2/25/2011 04:23:33 PM. We appreciate the time you have taken to write us.

We are happy to hear about your interest in the 2011 F-150 EcoBoost engine, which has been one of the most popular of our four brand new engines. I did check that if you are looking for a 4x4 model, you will be getting the thirty six gallon fuel tank. The only way you would be getting a twenty six gallon fuel tank was if you purchased a 4x2 model. "
So if this is true, the 36 gallon tank will be on my 4x4 ecoboost.

 

Sounds promising but they are misinformed. Verified several times ecoboost = 26 gallon regardless of 2wd or 4wd

 

If I was going to buy a f250 or f350 I would install this tank.Although you can buy alot of diesel with $1,400

9mpg while towing x 26 = 234 miles. You just ran out of gas 66 miles short of the gas station. It's 104 degrees and a long walk, but it's a dry heat.

 

I wish it was true. But we have learned not to trust the info given by the call centers in Pakistan.
