I came across a screaming deal on a 90 gal fuel tank for my 2011. Bigger than I need but will make a bit of difference in range when towing my fifth wheel.
The outlet of the tank has a steel or aluminum ball valve with a barbed nipple to hook the fuel line on. It sticks out too far because of the curved floor of the bed. I am going to get a brass street ell to turn it 90 degrees.
Here is question 1. Is there any problem mixing brass and diesel fuel? I might have read something on the internet that they didn’t get along. On the internet = must be true. Lol
Question 2. With a gravity feed into the stock tank the fuel gauge is not going to move until the aux tank is empty. Is that going to freak out the computer? It will think I have driven hundreds of miles and not used any fuel. Is it that smart?
Thanks. I know some of you guys have real world experience. I trust y’all.
