I was reading in the FORScan group on facebook that somebody put a 50 gallon tank in an F150. I would like to know if this would be possible to do this in an Expedition, specifically a 2017 Expedition EL. For right now this is just for curiosity, but it would be nice to for when we take those long trips to PA not to have to stop for gas.

This would be awesome, I've got a 37 in my f150.

There are kits that will allow for another 26 gallon tank to be installed under the body on the right side beside the driveshaft to a total 52 gallons it's popular on super dutys & f150 trucks specially on fleet owned trucks. I don't know if the expedition having an independent rear suspension will effect it if u decided to go that route cause F150's havr solid rear axles with leaf springs... do your research you'll find what I'm talking about.

My EL has a 33 gallon tank and it this would be possible I think it would really nice to have. Not sure that I will like filling it up but if I fill it when it gets down to a 3/4 of a tank it will not be bad. :)

It's expensive though the kit i think is 800-900 and the labor to install it & reprogram the ECU is another 2-3k

If I'm not mistaken I can change the fuel tank size in FORScan.
Your bladder can go more than the 400+ miles you should be able to get on a full tank? Mine can't! :)

Yeah, my bladder has a much shorter range than the current 33 gallon tank but it would be nice to in a pinch to make it all the way without stopping for gas. You know like if the Zombie apocalypse ever happens. o_O

The best I'm doing on the high way is about 17.5 mpg so would be about 575 miles but I've never seen that in the computer and I would want take a chance on arriving at my destination with with a gallon or two left in the tank. If it could even be trusted. :confused::mad:

That’s why they got the name “lie-o-meter” lol. Would an auxiliary tank automatically be drawn from in the case the regular one empties?
