No real reason, just want more range because of various mentioned points...just seems it can't hurt to have more gas than not enough. I have about 42 gallons on my flat bed, it's a '97 F-Super-Duty. This was the year before they started using Super-Duty on the entire line. It was sold as a chassis and the flat bed was added to it. 1-1/2 ton with a 7.5L (petrol) v8. It gets horrible mileage and I only use it when I need to move something heavy. It's a great truck to have when you need it.

The '46 could very well turn into my daily driver, but I don't know that yet. I drive a Tacoma currently that gets about 23 mpg, but only has a 15 gallon tank. That really only translates to about 13-14 gallons if you don't want to run out of gas. I often drive 350 miles. I can drive that far in our 2005 CR-V, but not the Tacoma.

Any idea on the other question about the switch-over-valve?
