Large Fuel Tank
Last week I installed a 62 gallon S&B fuel tank in my 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. It replaces the 36 gallon factory tank. I also installed a Fass lift pump because Chevrolet did not install fuel pumps on the LML Duramax diesels. Instead, the injector pump sucked the fuel from the tank. A lift pump will extend the life of the injector pump.
I did the installation alone, and it went relatively smoothly. The worst parts were getting a face full of diesel fuel when separating one of the fuel line connectors and catching the drive shaft with my jaw when it dropped 2 feet after I separated it from the rear yoke. I still have a black eye from that, but the swelling of the jaw has subsided.
Having a 600+ mile range while towing, 1200+ while not towing, will be nice. That, paired with a fleet fuel card that gets the discounts the large truck fleets get, means I can be very selective on where I buy fuel.
Anyone interested in the fleet fuel card can PM me for more information.
