    Remember: If SHTF, you have to sleep sometime. The magic number for 24/7 watch is 5 people. Small communities are stronger than small families.

    Also (not applicable to SHTF) we will be experiencing more and more gas shortages as time goes on. Don't run to empty - and it's bad on fuel pumps to do that anyway. Possibly consider getting bigger tanks as well, a nice hedge against the retardation we are and will be dealing with.

    Example: O.B.S. Fords can mount a Spectre F26D (38 gallon) in the rear to replace the stock 19 with nearly no modifications. They can sometimes mount a 32 gallon poly tank in the midship from a super duty with a lot of modifications. Total capacity: 70 gallons off of "stock" tank locations. That is some impressive range. Other combinations possible for most Chevy and Dodge trucks, new stuff though, I don't have a clue on because I don't touch new, probably SOL anyway.

    My rolling CPU 2020 RAM diesel CCLB was optioned with a 50 gallon tank. RAM only offers it for crew cab long bed. Titan and S&B have aftermarket replacement tanks for other models.

    YMMV. Adjust for the size and layout of your property. We've determined our minimum is twice that.

    Filling my 36 gal tank is a challenge ... because the local stations cut-off the flow at $75 to $125. So it's prudent to NOT get below half a tank.
