Extended fuel tank

[cc1999]

Is there a polly extended range tank option out there on the market?
All I have found is the steel and seems there actually the same tanks just sold under different names.

Brown Davis makes a poly tank for Ranger.

You mentioned that the other day, but once I went onto their website it states it is made of steel.
Pictures of them installed that I posted above, it looks like steel, actually it looks the same as the one sold here only black not grey,

I'm pretty sure there are polymer ones made for the Australian market. Possibly for the diesel option but I think for the gas trucks as well. As far as I could find, none are imported here (it's been a few months since I went down this rabbit hole though).

Found a Brown Davis poly tank for diesel, 145L, 2025 RR Part# FR22R1. The photo is identical to the aluminized steel but the disclaimer says the photo is generic. TEQ Customs has one for the US Raptor, but not poly. Poly for diesel but steel for gas? I have 5 gal poly gas cans for both fuels.

Are the OE Ford tanks we have now from the factory not all poly regardless of fuel?
Maybe a steel skid plate but I thought the tanks were poly.

Can you just get the diesel larger poly and use it? Are the mounting points amd pump/vent holes the same?

Can always contact the manufacturer. Or the US installers. Might be differences in the Aussie mounting points.

Brown Davis is now showing available but back ordered for the US. For the Raptor.

Is this a legit website? Price seems much lower than the others and they are supposed to be the same tank as LRA. Usually price being too good to be true is a scam.

" Estimated delivery dates: Sep 1, 2026 - Oct 11, 2026" Just seems odd it would take that long. I would be real cautious. The BrownDavis lettering on the tank doesn't look real professional, but maybe it's legit.

I know you guys already know this, just putting this here for those that don’t.

A polymer diesel tank is NOT necessarily able to hold gasoline. It needs to be the right poly formulation, or the gas will permeate and could eventually cause issues.

Also, if you’re importing from down under, you should make sure it is multi-fuel poly and not diesel only. And that it won’t fail a state safety inspection (if you have those)

They were responsive so ask them.

I'd be more tempted if there was a tank in the middle ground between stock and these...Maybe 27 or 28 gallons. Wouldn.t have to hang as low or fill every nook and cranny, so should be less expensive but still extend the range quite a bit.

Most of the cost of these tanks isn’t material, it’s the engineering and validation. The U.S. market size for extended range tanks for the Ranger might only be a few thousand (possibly much less), so the cost isn’t spread.

A lot of people want the extended tanks for towing, thus every extra drop of gas is a selling point. Not to mention the Raptor gets 16 mpg on a good day.

The economics for a mid-range tank would be much for favorable for the F150, just because of the sheer number of units on the road.
