The DTE and MPG seem to re-caliobrate under driving conditions. I would think it would calibrate itself to the larger fueltank.

If you don't mind me asking, How much did the tank cost you?

And what did you di with the old tank?

Also, Did you by chance clean out the screens and tank before you put in the new one?

About 300-320 per tank per DTE on OHD. Never looked at it otherwise. I just always check my MPGs and MPT (tank).

I would like to also think the DTE would recalibrate on its own but IDK yet. It certainly didnt after filling up or after resetting the PCM. Ive got to go through my AllData when I get the time and see what else is in the fuel system and circuits.

The old tank is sitting in my carport and I didnt clean it out because it was just pulled out of a running (but wrecked truck). I didnt swap pumps of anything. As for price goes, you will have to PM me.

Two Rotts in the front yard and 3 (English) Mastiffs in the backyard. They protect any and everything.

I easily go through 100lbs of feed a week so no they are not cheap. And IDK if you have ever seen a real (English) Mastiff but they are heavier and bigger than a Rott. However, many current breeds today came from the Mastiff bloodline as it is one of the oldest and anchient. Its very common for a male Mastiff to get over 200lbs in weight.

Its definately something I'm going to do. I could really use the extended range of a larger tank.
