2015 f-150 fuel tank swap from 23 to 36

2015 F150 PLATNIUM Anch
I replaced my 23gal tank with a 36 gal tank . The dealer did all the work . I also had trouble with DTE not reading right . After trying several ways to fix this I came across a thread that said the only way too fix it is to enter another trucks vin who has all your extras plus a 36gal tank . This worked for me and the gauge and reality are as close as they ever were ( within a gal )

I wonder if this was done with the 36 gal tank if you'd a greater capacity too?

I haven't posted any details but it is fairly simple to do. The highest point of the tank is at the rear. All I did was drill and tap it for a 1/8NPT fitting and run a 5/16 poly line up to the fill door and put a plastic cap on it. After the pump clicks off I pull the cap and slowly add another 5 gallons. If I get some time this weekend I will start another thread with more detail. Is there a picture server on this site?

I want to leave room for expansion and the closer you get to full the slower it goes into the tank. I got my info about the tank size here: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/33-ga...n-tank-357945/ , I have not actually put in more than 7 gallons after the pump clicks off.

I get the same thing and I created it, that's why I think it was deleted. Who would have that authority? I did spend a fair amount of time documenting it with lots of pictures but it is gone not sure why.
