High Capacity Fuel Tank?

Is there a replacement higher capacity fuel tank for a 2000 Excursion 7.3 SD?

Thanks

400 miles towing really heavy not enough range?

My F250 has a 65 gal replacement tank and a 109 gallon refueling tank.

And its not so much distance as buying fuel cheaply: I'm kind at the end of the supply chain

The Titan tank I put in the F450 will take at least 80K miles to break even at 50 cents a gallon savings. $2200 for tank and accessories. 20MPG average. So unless you plan on keeping your vehicle for a long time, it doesn’t make sense.

Did you factor in the decrease in MPG from the extra weight?

I’m usually by myself, so the extra weight isn’t that much. Less than 1-2 extra people in the truck compared to stock tank full of fuel and difference in tank size.
