Good evening,I recently purchased a 2015 F350 Dually. I have about 5500lb CCC. I will be having Transfer Flow (in Chico, CA) install a tank next Friday. I am looking to get a 98 gal bed tank with the MaxFlo system. Curious if anyone would like to share their experience. I know, 98 gallons is a lot, but I have the CCC and there is only $200 difference between that and the 50 gallon tank, so I am figuring go big or go home...Thanks,Cale

I'm thinking about doing the same thing. I have a short bed with the original tank. We just put on 8500 towing miles this summer, and I would have given anything to be able to go from point a to point b without having to fill up every 200 miles.

I figure that I have the weight to spare...add 155lbs for the OEM style hitch and 3500lb pin weight, I still have 1000lbs to play with. I fuel with My Fuel Rewards at Shell, buying large amounts of fuel at once actually benefits me quite well. I had $0.90/gallon off this weekend with the saved credits from propane and fuel purchases....Cale

You will love it! Like you said, you can always just put 50 gallons in the bigger tank, but not the other way around. And you can shop for the best price within 1000 miles. It will eventually pay for itself.

I've got the 50 gal with tool box, gives me easy 800 miles towing and that tool box is full (tire chains, axe, tow chain, spare fuel filter, spare fan belt and the list goes on).

My shell rewards stops at 20 gallons.

Yep, so does mine, but just re-swipe the card and start earning rewards again. Even though it stopped at 20 gallons for me this weekend, I still realized about $0.45/gallon for nearly 40 gallons...

It's pricey but 720 miles without stopping for fuel(40gal/toolbox) is nice!

I carry an extra 50 gallons. There are some pretty desolate areas that we go through when heading west and it bought us a lot of peace of mind. I don't think I would need to go any bigger..

Thanks for the replies....Are any of you guys using the new MaxFlow system or the older system?

I have a 50 gal tank. Only problem is it cost $300 to fuel up sometimes. With 38 gal OEM and 50 gal Aux gives me 88+
