I had an early 90's f-150 that had 2 tanks. Each tank had a fuel pump and a fuel gauge sending unit. There was a switch on the dash for front and rear. When you flipped the switch it would send power to the other pump and sending unit. It was great to get close to E and flip it and watch the needle go to full. Although one time I was zoned out, and the engine sputtered, I hit the switch, and the other tank was on E also, luckily I was able to ease on into a gas station.
My current truck only has a 26 gallon tank and I get about 8mpg pulling my TT. Really 180 miles is at least 3 hours of driving. At that point I'm ready to pee and stretch my legs, so it really doesn't bother me very often. Every once in a while we will be we going through a rural area, late at night, and you aren't sure what will be open, and I wish for a little more range.
