i had a shop do the actual swap. the only part i bought beside the fuel pump was the tank itself. they didn't notify me that they had to modify or purchase anything else to complete the work. that's the best i can answer.

i don't know the reason, but putting 36 in doesn't work. it decreases the dte substantially.

it's wrong on first fill up. i fooled with the numbers numerous times as the fuel level subsided to try to get it somewhat accurate as it neared empty. I was successful in that regard, however on first fill up, it will show 999 miles to empty and i can travel about 75 miles before that number...

a dealer willing to spend the time with the fdrs stuff could probably sort it out, however it probably wouldn't be cost effective to have them spend the time it takes to do it. it seems the issue with forscan is that the fuel levels and dte are originally controlled by the pcm. using forscan and...

i had about $750 in it, including buying all the parts and paying a shop to do the actual work. it's more than buying one off the lot with a 36 gallon tank, but i couldn't find one when i purchased the truck.

i don't know for sure, but the later coyote motors have direct injection along with port injection. i would suggest searching out part numbers at an official ford parts dealer to see if they're the same.

if you buy a junkyard gas tank, it will come with the heat shield, more than likely. Someone would have to go to a lot of trouble to separate the heat shield from the tank. I did this several years ago now and I don't remember getting the straps with the replacement gas tank. The new tank is a...

just the gas tank and the fuel pump are all that's needed in terms of parts. I've heard others complain that aftermarket fuel pumps sometimes had the wrong connectors and they were getting some sort of code. my suggestion would be buy a fuel pump from a dealer. go thru their parts ordering site...

the tank on my truck is from a '15. regarding the fuel pump, i do not know if the pumps are the same from a v6 to a v8 engine, or if direct injection makes a difference. i bought only the tank from the '15 and then searched out the correct part number for my application (for the fuel pump), '21...

It appears I may have gotten the DTE readings corrected. Here's a link for anyone interested. https://www.f150forum.com/f129/fuel-tank-swap-forscan-adjustments-511630/#post7063148

The Titan fuel tank you've referenced is only for diesel engines, unfortunately.

Fuel tank swap completed this morning. I have a total of $717 in the swap. tank $150 fuel pump $267 labor $300 I haven't ventured into Forscan yet to make the adjustments for the miles to empty to read correctly, but the mpg's and fuel level gauge all look normal. It might be more money than...

I get it. I have some trepidation about it, to be honest. I may yet wait a while and let someone else be the guinea pig. Everything is working well right now and hope to keep it that way....even my trailer brake finally seems to be working right, lol.

I'm a ford guy from way back, and I hate to hear you've had so many problems. Also I hope you didn't get the wrong idea about my experience or expertise. I'm not any kind of software expert that has a handle on the Forscan stuff. I will hopefully be able to follow the instructions that others...

It’s all about going further between fill ups while towing the camper

I got the new fuel pump, but the basket was broken so they're shipping me a new one. It should be here on Wednesday, and I found another shop to actually do the work for me but I'm not on his schedule yet. He says I'm about two weeks out. The short answer is not yet. One of the members over at...

Looks like you're on to something. I stumbled across a thread speaking about the "unadvertised reserve" on our trucks (on the other forum). The advertised volume of the tank is actually less than what it actually holds. Without looking up the thread from the other forum, the owner's manual does...

We aren't connecting. I view the tank as either a 26 gallon tank or a 36 gallon tank. I don't think in terms of reserve amount of fuel left. I'm not brave enough to run the truck to zero miles to empty and then see how much further it will actually go (and it would vary anyway, depending on...

I don't know how many miles are actually left when the DTE is at 50. I can tell you when towing, that number subsides very quickly. The reason (for me) for a tank swap is pretty simple. When towing a camper, the truck will net between 8 and 11 mpg. I've already experienced in a different...

There's only one fuel tank, and no actual reserve tank. Perhaps when the DTE trips the light and shows 50 miles to empty there's actually quite a bit more gas, but it's a single tank and not a saddle tank or anything like the dual tanks on 05-10 mustangs.
