Keith Browning Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Start searching Google... Transfer Flow corporation has a lot of replacement tank options. I found one for your application but it retrofits the truck to a midship tank set up. Food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredsvt Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 What's the difference between a 1999 and say a 2004 F350 with a aft axle tank? Just changed one in a 2004 6.0 and it looks identical to me as the F450 and F550 tanks I've changed in the older trucks. List price was scary though.

Keith Browning Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 For much less you can get it stripped and re-laminated. We have done a few tanks with these people with no problems. I forget the price but it was 1/2 or less than that of a new tank and they warranty it for 3/36. New tank id only 12/12 from Ford. As I recall they even have exchange tanks in stock now otherwise it was a few days turn around.

Fredsvt Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi Keith, we are now saving all the old tanks. The fleet that we did 6 tanks in, at that time no one wanted them, so they got tossed. Thanks for that number, I'm going to bring it to work monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 If you see a lot of tank problems you might consider taking one of those tanks and having it reconditioned and keep it on hand for quick use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredsvt Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Another local truck shop near to us has a deal with a tank reconditioner, could be Renu, but I'm not sure on that. They'll take 4 old tanks and give us two tanks redone for free with a warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
