Well, never got past 450miles per tank.... just got back from South Padre Island, and got 610miles out of a tank. Refueled with 36.5 gal. Best purchase under $50!!

 

Please elaborate!

 

the vent mod relocates the vent for the fuel tank to a higher location, so you can get more fuel into the tank during fill ups, instead of trickling it in drop by drop when it is full

hope this helps

 

One of the best mod's that I have done so far!! Congrat's with the mod.

 

Won't fuel spill out when it gets hot?

 

100* outside and didnt see any spill

 

I park on a hill and yet to have a problem from the fill kit in a year. I also fill up 2 miles from the house and then park it. It is also nice not to baby the pump for the last 6-8 gallons of fuel at the fill up. The wife bought it for me and considers it the best mod on the truck

 

Yah, it's great. I drained out 5 gallons (about 20 litres) out of the tank which I poured back in when I was done the dodification, then I went to fuel up and put another 136 litres in for a total of 156. All this in a tank the manual says holds 136 litres!


Got about 600 km on it, the over head computer hootie says I can go another 500 km on the tank, that's cool.
Doesn't take 10 minutes to fill up now after the pump shuts off.

I'll only fill up before a drive, or park in my shop out of the sun so won't have to worry about expansion.

 

Where can I get my hands on one of these vent mods? Or is it a do-it-yourselfer?

Definitely worth the effort and money.

 

Sounds pretty good... Are you guys filling it till you see fuel in the neck?

 

YEP! All the way up there. A couple of more clicks and DING, your done. Sure helps when you driving long distance to get that extra 120 -140 miles. I've had mine on for 2 years and I live less than 2 miles from where I fill up. Not once was there an expansion issue. The best place to fill up is @ those stations that have the true high flow pumps. Talk about fast fillups and to the neck

 

Yep, all the way up the neck until I can see it.

On the highway unloaded running 70-ish...the most miles on a tank I've seen was 720...I could have gone further but I was already pushing it. I'm definitely getting in more fuel than my 35 gallon tank is supposed to hold.

 

I installed the vent mod 1 month ago....Best mod for the $$$, as others have said!

Tank is rated at 35gallons, from the factory. Last weekend, I ran it until computer dinged low fuel light and OH read 70 miles to empty. I refilled with 38 gallons.

When I installed the vent, I filled with 5 gallons of fuel from the can, then filled 35 gallons after that. My best guess is the tank will hold (with the vent mod) about 43 gallons, and have 38-40 gallons usable. At 16mpg, that equates to 608-656 mile range.

I'll agree x10! This is the greatest cheap mod you can ever do. Saves you ~10 minutes every time you fill up, which adds up A LOT over time. Mine has paid for itself over and over again. Only thing I regret is waiting for 6 months to install mine!
