Glad to hear this has turned into a worthwhile modification. 
 

I’ve been trying to decide on the S&B 62 gal tank or the Titan 56 gal tank for my soon to arrive 3500. 
 

Either one seems like a great option once you get past the cost. I found a local shop that will do the install, but I’m also considering doing it myself. 
 

Thanks for all your feedback on the upgrade. Much appreciated.

On thing I failed to note in earlier post is the first fill-up warning.  Air gets trapped when the tank is nearly full, pause the pump for a few seconds before topping off or you will get some  fuel blow back!

in my 2015 i had the 57 gallon titan tank and liked it...i considered doing the 56 gallon in my 2020 but I went a different route personally.  for less money i am installing a 45 gallon L shaped tank that hugs my retractable cover canister in the bed of the truck...So now i have 36 plus 45 gallons for a few hundred less dollars...So if fully loaded up i will have onboard 80 gallons of diesel instead of 56 with the titan tank..I know that kills bed space but the retractable cover committed me that way.  I wanted to have a way to secure stuff in my bed of the truck...less crap i have to carry in the cab or the trailer

I've ordered the S&B Filters replacement fuel tank.  It's a 62 gallon tank.  Up until the past day or two, it was about $100 more than Titan.  Today I noticed that the Titan tank is now $20 more than S&B for a smaller tank.

@Major TomAny updates on tank performance? Looking at getting this tank soon. What type of shop did you get to install it?

The tank was installed by a dealer that sells Titan products.  They do diesel repairs and upgrades.  I didn't know this until I visited their shop.  I took it as a good sign that they were very busy; it took them three days to work my job into their schedule.  No problems with the tank other than the blow back on fill-up.  Just slow the pump as you approach full.  Listen and you can hear a chance the fuel and air flow sound as the tank gets near full.  I did not have the blowback problem with the original equipment tank.

Talk to Titan yourself, but I believe they are diesel only tanks.  They have since released a 62 gallon version of this replacment tank.

Has anyone had issues of the fuel guage dropping to empty like they say on the titan website?  Thinking of going this route as well.  Will also be doing a 45 gal aux tank in the bed along with the titan.  S&B voids their warranty if you add an aux tank.

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....

      $4.00 a gallon here now.   Diesel nearly $5.00 again.

      If we're talking futures, yes, it's speculation.   The spot price of a delivered barrel is elevated now compared to before the conflict. And that is related more to current supply/demand.

      SPECULATION on the wars effect raised prices. AI is maximizing the profit. Refining is vertically integrated.
