So, just how big is the fuel tank on a new Dodge Short Bed truck?

Long and short beds are the same -- 34 gallons. I'm not sure if I believe that though. I filled up three days ago and pumped 39 gallons into mine. I was a bit on the low side though... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif


For those of you who like to top off the tank all the way but don't like standing around for 10 minutes doing it, here is a kit that should fix the problem:

I bought one, but have not been home to install it yet. Seems to have a lot of good feedback in the forums though.

34 gallons is right. It fills with a truckers nozzle on full blast.

Finally installed the kit today. My 10 minute top-off time has been reduced to 20 seconds. *BIG smile* I ran my truck completely out of fuel today so I could more easily lower the tank. When I filled the tank up, it took 42.34 gallons.


I still can't believe it took 827.7 miles to run the tank completely out of fuel. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif
