Ford diesel comes with a 35 gallon tank. Mine gets over 20 mpg empty. That is a lot of miles.
I like truck stops and do not see any price issues with them in the West. They have lots of stuff that can be useful on a serious road trip.
7.3L Diesel Excursions come with 44 gallons ๐
My 2017 F-350 came with a 48 gallon tank.:C

Most highway truck stop charge premium for fuel as apposed to station that are a few miles from the high way. However the Pilot/Flying J discount card offers a discount. I installed and secured a 12 gal marine fuel tank in the truck bed for $100 and use a $12 battery operated pump to transfer the fuel. My F350 has a 26 gal tank that usually allows a driving range of 250 miles. The 12 gal tank is available if a fuel stop is unavailable. I had to use it twice in the last 3 years.

Well, I've been stuck behind truckers who fill up and then disappear for 15-20 minutes too. So not too much patience with them either. I fill up and then move, and I expect them to do the same, and many don't.

I have a Northern Tool 36 gallon tank, and a pump and nozzle. I didn't want to cut into my filler tube so I use a 12v pump and fuel nozzle with an inline filter. That gives me over 70 gallons of fuel, and pretty much lets me decide when and where to fill up instead of the truck deciding that. ๐

What is a good size for a aux tank? Do you have it plumbed right in to the truck or do you transfer as needed?
