Oh I do. There will be some months when I fill up multiple times but if I am just going to work and normal around town stuff I will only fill up once. I can get 560 out of a tank. This month I have out in a tank and a half cause I traveled out of town twice.

Ive been wanting to do this since I got my 5.0l last year.

I get about 2 weeks on the 26gal, but for highway drives I'd rather have the 36gal.

Any one got the parts#'s and is a re flash required for the fuel gauge to pick up the extra 10gal

more gas = less payload left over for trailer and gear

I can't drive over about 300 miles without having find a restroom anyway so the smaller tank doesn't bother me.

I now have their 50gallon tank in my superduty and love the range while towing.
And this helps the OP how?

It gives another option besides the factory 36 gallon tank. I haven't looked at the prices but when I pull a trailer on a long trip I hate to stop. A 50 gallon would be cats ***.
