Gdetrailer,
What is involved in setting up the landscape 15g tank. Is this something that can be seemlessly integrated or so you have to stop and pump?
I don't know that they make additional or larger replacement tanks for the 2021 F150 Hybrid yet or at least I have not found it.

Missed your question..
The tank I have is designed to be a gravity flow but since it sits in the bed, gravity doesn't work.. So, I added a aftermarket feul pump rated for gas to it. Since you don't really want to mess with the emissions system I decided to just use the hose and nozzle that came with the tank..
Basically at one of my rest stops when the main tank is low enough to I will transfer the fuel from the landscaper tank. Takes about 10 minutes to transfer 15 gallons.
I was lucky to buy mine after the manufacturer discontinued it for $100, there is a different brand now but the cost is now $180..
Tank looks like this..
Found HERE
Mounted mine to a couple of 2x6 boards and then bolted that to the bed.. Added a aftermarket auto electric fuel pump and a filter and away we go..
It is actually tough to find gas rated aux fuel tanks and there may be still a aftermarket tank builder that makes larger replacement tanks for trucks but the last time I looked at that option it was something on the order of $1K plus installation.. Can't think of the manufacturer name right now.. Used to see posts about them on FTE (Ford Truck Enthusiasts) forum.
