Extended range fuel tanks - who has one?
I'm looking into replacement fuel tanks. I'd like to hear from folks who have replaced the existing tank with a larger replacement. Since I haul a TC, can't use a bed tank like I did when I had a 5'...

Extra tank aside, I would encourage everybody to start using their tank capacity.
Fueling with gauge showing 1/4 is waste of available resources (unless you see a sign like above).
Care to elaborate on that? What resources are wasted by me only adding 16 gallons vs say 22 by driving awhile with the low fuel light lit? Do you think you somehow use more fuel by filling up twice at half a tank vs once with an empty tank? In my case, back east, I'll go until the low fuel light comes on. West of Illinois, I hit the next station at 1/4 tank because I don't know how far it will be until the next station after that and I have no desire to damage my injectors by finding out where I break suction and start drawing air. Now THAT is a waste of resources.
