    After being totally impressed with Rowells Inc Installation of our transfer flow 58 gallon tank in our 22 F350. We headed out to pick up our fifth wheel from Sonny’s camp and travel in Concord and headed home with it.
    Let me tell you that not having to worry about looking for a gas station after 150 miles or so, was a real relief. We made it home to the Fayetteville area with plenty of fuel to spare, which was a real change from the past .
    I can not thank transfer flow enough for creating a fantastic tank upgrade, and to Rowells in Indian trails, NC for installng it.

      I live just outside Raleigh so it’s not a long hike to Indian Trails. Can I ask what they charged you to install?

      On top of the initial cost of the tank there is also shipping of the tank from California to Indian Trail then there’s the installation fee plus taxes on top of all that. If memory serves me correctly, I think it was around $4000 give or take. Give buddy a call at Rowells and tell him you spoke to me and I’m sure he’ll give you a hand with all the numbers. We had two technicians that were installing the system and it took less than three hours. One of the technicians came out and showed my wife how to do the forscan to update the miles to empty estimate in the correct gallons being recognized in the computer. It was a piece of cake.

      One more thing I forgot to say is that I don’t regret the decision to buy this tank one bit. It has completely done away with a range anxiety towing our fifth wheel. With the tank we’re getting more than 400 miles on a fill and that is really nice.

      Joe how did you get your truck calibrated to read the correct miles to empty? I filled the truck up and it said 303 miles to empty. i ran it to empty and got about 75 mile on empty. i was hoping to get more out a 58 gallon tank.

      The technicians at Rowells used FORSCAN From a laptop, plugged it into the ODBII port under the steering wheel, and it was done in less than a minute. On average when we fill up our tank, the miles to empty estimate is very close to 700 miles. Mind you that is unloaded with no RV attached. With the RV attached the reading with a full tank is usually just over 400. Hope this helps.

      The installation of the fuel tank today only took about three hours since we had two technicians doing the job. This is not an inexpensive upgrade by the way, but having extended range when towing sure is nice.
      We have just over 2000 miles now on the 7.3 and I am very impressed with the engine. We have the 430 gears and on the highway we get close to 14 not towing anything and driving about 75 mph.
      We didn’t want to diesel mainly because of the noise the smell and the high cost of ownership being at least $10,000 over the cost of the 7.3.
      Our F350 is a lariat, 4 x 4 crew cab and does not have the FX4 package or the tremor.
      I can tell you with an 11,000 pound fifth wheel we were getting roughly 7.3 to 7.4 miles to a gallon at roughly 63 to 65 mph. This was the main reason we got the larger tank installed so we would not have range anxiety. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more thoughts or questions.

It was the evap system for gas certification or something like that, that got in the way. Something must of changed regulation wise or somebody figured out how to work it out simply.

      @@MrThisIsMeToo I think it's because these are actually complete replacement tanks that they are allowed. They don't allow in bed tanks for gasoline because of accidents and also they can't be plumbed to the main tank the way diesel expansion tanks can. And it's a DOT rule, not EPA. You could be thinking of something different from me, but that's the reason I've always understood in bed tanks and expansion tanks weren't allowed for gasoline. Although they will allow you to have a loose tank that's strapped in, for some reason that makes no sense to me. Maybe they'd rather see the tank ejected away from the vehicle in an accident. Who knows. The government is often illogical. Cheers.
