Does anyone know of a replacement ( Larger tank) For the 2.8 ? Extended cab long bed ?
Titan makes one for the 4 door but not the 2 door, Also i have a decked system in the back so if i went with a auxiliary
it would need to be small, and i cant seem to find one of those either ,

No, but just curious. Why? NOT dissing you, and you might have very good reasons, but my tank almost always lasts longer than my bladder. I also try and do the stop and walk every 2 hours or so, to try and avoid stroking out from DVT, and fuel stops serve that purpose. Admittedly, we got close to empty a couple of times in Canada, but that was bad planning on my part.

Extra 18 gallons of fuel in that tank. 🤫

Details please.

I believe TransferFlow in Chico California makes one.

Thank you, Ill check it out.

Since we picked up the diesel canyon we always make pit stops on road trips without fueling up. It is also nice to have the range to be more picky about where I buy fuel on long trips. There is no way my wife and son are going to go more than 4-5 hours without stopping, usually only 3 or 4. I kinda like the idea of a larger fuel tank but personally can’t justify it. When I go on long trips I map out fuel stops with the gas buddy app. It probably only saves me $20 every couple thousand miles. It would be nice to have the larger tank, however.

And, as big oil bob pointed out, when you get older you need to move around to avoid blood clots. I haven’t had a problem but it runs in my family. I’m sure my day will come so I guess I will stick with the stock tank to avoid a trip to the hospital as I’m sure I wouldn’t force myself to get out and move around if I was not with the wife and son. However, I totally get the want for a larger tank.

Not just when you get older. David Bloom, the war correspondent, was 40 when he DVT'd out, after spending too much time in war and broadcasting vehicles, in Iraq in 2003. You can still see vid's of his co-anchor, Soledad O'Brien, crying on camera, in mourning black.

Rotopax will carry more fuel, while getting you on your feet to decant into the tank now and then. I’m a bit ignorant on DVT, but for sure the 6-way seats suck and we should look for opportunities to stop and stretch

I see RV trailering in my future and am planning on more onboard fuel capacity for operations flexibility. For the cost of a Titan 36 gal. upgrade (minus stock tank salvage), it appears I could add an in-bed, self-contained, DOT auxiliary tank and have more capacity. I have a CCLB with SnugTop cap on the back so I won't be filling the aux. tank from the station pump.

Has anyone used their stock tank lift pump to fill their auxiliary tank? I'm thinking of controlling the engine fuel return line to fill the aux. tank, and divert back to the stock tank when the aux. tank is full.

Then electrically (manual demand, cycle-time switch) pump from the aux. tank to the stock tank through the stock tank filler vent. This scheme uses the onboard filtration to ensure fuel quality delivered to the engine.

Any thoughts? Anyone know if the engine fuel return line is backpressure sensitive either with just key on or with engine running?

While I have no feedback to offer regarding your questions, please include the increased fuel weight in your "...RV trailering...future..." It is pretty clear from previous posts on this forum that the fuel tank capacity is about 24 gals. The Titan tank will add about 90# in fuel alone which will reduce your weight carrying ability.

There are plenty of threads on the forum with those pushing the limits of the truck even with the OEM tank.

Good advice. Given our payload capacities, that's not nuthin'. The good news is that payload capacity is the parameter that can be pushed the closest. The rest, GCVWR, trailer tow capacity, I back way off...

Thanks for the feedback. I agree completely. I am factoring all added hardware and fluid weights into the vehicle's load ratings and should have mentioned that.

Keep in mind the Titan tank can only be used with a long bed....
