WHat size is the Diesel fuel tank?


Recommended Posts

2011 they switched to 36 gallon tank for 25/3500.

2010 was 26 gallon for standard bed and 34 gallon for long bed.  

 

2011 was also all the new chassis/frame/brakes/front axle and LML with DEF.

 

 

1500 series are different and chassis cab is different

23 gallons in my 08 Duramax standard bed. :( Or maybe it is 26 when I've used 21 gallons, it says I have maybe 50 miles left to empty.   My former 08 Duramax and 2012 Duramax long bed had a 32 gallon tank.

so no options to upgrade the 2016 1500 trucks?

2016 manual only shows 98L / 26 gallon for 1500's.

 

Aftermarket doesn't seem to do gasoline tanks. 

 

Difference in frames, so HD tanks aren't going do be direct bolt in. 

 

2016 OM:

Fuel Tank
1500 Series 98.4 L 26.0 gal

2500 Series and 3500 Series Standard Box 136.3 L 36.0 gal
3500 Series Long Box 136.3 L 36.0 gal

Going custom is the only way.

 

I suppose anyone could rig up a nice plastic/metal tank under the truck, have a mini pump on a switch that fills the main tank with a feed line into the fuel filler neck. Then vent the small aux tank into the filler neck as well.

Might throw the question around over at duramaxforum.com as well, I recall a few people over there had done some upgrades for fuel tanks before I stopped going to that site due to how shitty of a layout it is now.
