Mostly freeway & Ohio Turnpike while towing @ 62 MPH. Not towing on return home took 2 lane highways and Rt 90 @ 55 to 70 MPH. Computer says 22.2 MPG after driving 27k miles the last year and a half. I'm happy with that.
I definitely saw a hit when I pulled, but I also had quite a few hills to tackle.. Went down from a typical 24mpg on the highway to ~16mpg with a car trailer totalling about 6k. Granted a full trailer and not a dolly.
That is the general plan all together. Thankfully Fords FDRS scan tool has a setting for the 140L tank capacity for the gauge. Also if you have ForScan then you are in good hands as you can set the tank size in that as well.
In all honesty I can't argue that it is part of the EVAP emission system but in reality you're not exactly tempering with it when you put a replacement tank in. In Siri how an EVAP system is supposed to work is very simple. Well if vehicle is sitting whether it is running or not regardless how cold it is or isn't outside fuel is evaporating in the fuel tank. All about evaporated fuel go straight to the evap canister and is stored for however long it is necessary. While the vehicle is running it will open up a simple valve just to let all those fuel Vapors go straight to the engine so it isn't wasted. With that being said having a bigger fuel tank won't really affect that any especially since look at a Ford F-150 with the small tank in the big tank and the evap canister is still the same size. Basically it sounds like some companies don't want to bother with certain vehicles
well I would imagine the imported tanks for the diesel rangers will not be a direct fit, with the fill spout and pump/hoses/evap fittings, etc... So you'll probably have to do a bit of custom work.
Yeah and the funny thing is if you look at Titan and other companies in the US they are still making and selling replacement fuel taks for gas trucks. To put simple they don't want to bother with the Ranger as they think it wont be worth it.
well all the replacement tanks I see listed on Titan's website are for diesel trucks.
The idea is when your trailering or off-road your able to get more miles between fill ups.
Yikes! Just in case you're serious, I suggest you don't really do that. Any leak as in a wreck and you'll be dumping gasoline everywhere. Any DOT authorized in bed type auxiliary fuel tank has to have its own fuel pump feed and return system. I had one in a diesel truck and there was just a toggle switch on the dash to switch tanks.
With the same EPA issues as well. You can buy fuel rated bulkhead connectors and lines. If you are getting in a wreck that would sent a fuel tank flying, then you'd be sending any aux tank setup as well. Not like I'm gonna run some garden hose and duct tape ?
