As with all my scripts, they are in metric, so set EFILive to metric first!
I just installed a S&B 10-1023 "62 gallon" fuel tank. By my measurements, it is 56.2 gallons total, with about 54.7 gallons usable through the included fuel basket. Might be able to sneak a bit more out through the included sump, but I prefer the basket. Regardless, it is over 2x the usable capacity of my stock tank, so I am happy.
This is for the 10-1023 tank (2001-2004 trucks), but the 10-1006 tank (2004-2010 trucks) is the same physical thing with the sending unit inverted. So you might be able to just reverse this calibration and be fine for that tank on the newer trucks. For reference, my sending unit is labeled BD0000717, which seems to cross to basically every pre-LLY truck.
I used a GPI 113255-20M6TSC fuel meter (Tractor Supply Co. special) on one of our gravity feed farm tanks to fill it up ½ gallon at a time and build a calibration table. Didn't want to sit at a gas station for an hour and argue with the attendant to do this. Again. LOL
The meter claims ±5% (but I would always get 5.0 gallons when filling a 5 gallon can, so seems better than that). Nonetheless, while the total gallons might be off in the calibration, the curve should be valid, so the fuel gauge should go down linearly, even if the range estimate is off a bit.
Anyway, I attached 2 different EFILive scripts, one for the full range of the tank, and one with 10L (2.6 gal) removed as a "reserve". I haven't yet run this tank down to the fuel light, so use at your own risk, but I believe this to be a good calibration. I will post back if I have any updates, but that probably won't be until January 5, 2021 when I drive back to Boise.
If people are interested, I can write up my thoughts on the install process and/or tank in general.
