Gas tank size….

[Calson]

I have always planned on not using the gas until the tank was empty or that the fuel gauge was accurate. I have often seen the gauge move less at the first quarter of the fuel tank than at the last quarter. With a 36 gallon fuel tank I assume that I have 33-34 gallons of gas available for the engine.

Who really wants to get stranded on the side of the road because the vehicle ran out of gas? My choices in a new truck in 2022 were the Ram 1500 or the F-150 as they were the only ones for which there was a large gas tank option. What I found strange is that the purchasing people at the dealerships would order trucks with the max tow package and not upgrade to the larger tank on their factory order. I ended up with a crew cab which I did not want with its greater turning radius, but it was the only truck with the locking rear differential and the 36-gallon gas tank available on dealers' lots in the state.

I’m showing 86 miles to empty on my Powerboost. I’ll get it down to as close to zero as I can and report back.

My experiment was very anticlimactic… I drove down to my truck saying I had enough gas to get 10 more miles. I was able to put 30.42 gallons in it— so about exactly as expected.

I frequently put 31-32 gallons in my 30.6 gallon PB. I’ve even gotten almost 33 one time. I never add more after the automatic cutoff. I think it’s just an odd shape and hold more than 30.6. No way the filler neck is holding 2-3 gallons.

The powerboost, regardless of options, has a 30.6 gallon gas tank

Per the manual on my 2019 Platinum, fuel tank 36.0 gal (136.3 L) - (Optional). Unsure of your factual info, but it's incorrect.

Per my factual info, your truck is not a powerboost.

The powerboost was first available in gen14 trucks MY2021 and newer. Your truck is a gen13 and NOT a powerboost.

On another vehicle the night before long drives, I would fill up and continue filling after the automatic cut off. Thats bad for the Charcoal filter. But I reckon on a one off basis, it was fine.
I've not been moved to drain the 36 gallon tank on my 5.0 more than 29 gallons.
The one thing I do wish, is that the MTE would change if you are towing. Super Duties do that, but us humble F150 don't get that.

I stand corrected - this discussion is for a PowerBoost NOT EcoBoost. Didn't see that in the original ask.
