I have a 05 F150 super cab and I was wondering if it would be possible to put another gas tank on it. Or should I put a bigger tank in?

you could fit a 2nd tank in where the spare tire carrier goes. try looking at rockauto for tank sizes for bronco and e150's. i would think these would be your best bet.

Adding a transfer tank is not too difficult and very affordable.

I had to cut the fill tube and add a few inches of height.

The tank hangs just below the frame rails.

All plumbed to the tank-

Pump line tee'd into the main tank fill vent line and the tank vent tied into the main tank vent line-

My fiberglass traction/bridging ladders act as a shield for the tank, held up by winches mounted on either side.

Fuel gauge reads in gallons. LED indicator and momentary switch to transfer fuel. Works great.
