Can anyone tell me how this morning I was able to fit 35.6 gal of fuel into my 34 gal tank? I don't have the vent mod, and fuel was not coming up the filler neck. I was low, not running on fumes, and definately not running on negative!

Sounds like you paid for fuel you didn't get.

i agree that sucks

I dunno man, I hope you didn't get cheated, but I've always gotten more in the tank than i'm supposed to?!?

If I pull over as soon as the fuel light comes on it takes about 33 gallons if I run it dry I have put as much as 36 in it. I get fuel at a bunch of different stations and its always consistent. I always thought that it was a 36 gallon tank or so.

i dunno man. fuel in lines and fill neck count? plus some extra in the pump lines?

Reserve maybe?

Somebody on the forum suggested recently that you stop the pump exactly on 10 galons. If the price of fuel is, say 4.50, your pump should read $45.00. Get it?? Then you can tell if the pump is calibrated correctly, or you`re getting scammed. I thought this was very timely. Easy to do every time, anywhere.

Does anybody know what size tank we have anyway. I've be told 34,35 or 37. Anybody know for sure? I would appreciate it.

Ok, now its between 34 to 35, its getting better. Let me mention that I have the LWB. I was told 35 though before.

 

[Garrett]

its 35 listen to tuffguy707!

 

[elephantrider]

yep, long beds have the 35 gallon monster.

My owners manual says for the 2004.5 the short box has 34 gal tank and the long box has 35. Here is the problem with stopping the pump at 10 gal and checking the price... if they are shorting you they are only putting in say 9.5 gallons when the pump reads 10. The dollar thing moves in unison with the gallon thing, and doesn't know that the pump is putting in less than the 10 gallons it is saying it is. There really is no way for average Joe to know that when the machine says 10 gallons have gone into the tank, it is actaully 10 gallons.
