Default Vandals suck....they got to the Duramax :(

Nothing toooooo crazy but...left my truck in a local, very nice parking lot. Came back...and someone drained my full tank. all 26 gallons gone. Filled it yesterday and gone today! Nice pin hole in the front. The rag was there when i got there. Had to call firedepartment cause there was some fuel on ground...but...might get to upgrade to a TITAN tank depending on price. Had it taken to local friends repair shop







and...got to ride in a Sheriffs car home lol (its my buddys)

Why do you need a big after market tank?

it will almost be cheaper than the OEM one and should help resale..if i ever do sell it down the road. Its also nice to go on trips with it and fill up once with a Titan (brand name not nissan titan) 55 gallon.. the truck would go right at, if not over, a 1000 miles on the interstate (empty) on a full tank.

P.S. OEM one is around $600. Titans can be around $800-1000 new.

Its just a thought at this point. Might as well upgrade mindset while im at it.

Sorry to hear that, some people have no shame. As a previous poster stated, I hope they put that fuel in their regular gas car.

You know you can get used fuel tanks from local recycle yards and/or ebay, right? But yeah a 55 gal tank would be awesome

lol yeah...most new vehicles have anti siphoning *****/valves in the stem of the neck. Not sure if mine does but the way the tank is made it probably easier to just drill a hole.

I have a duramax. I know all about the Titan tanks. personally, i would like one since filling up is a bit annoying, but i couldnt justify the price. I get about 450-460 miles to a fill up 22 gallons or so, so its not a huge deal to me.

btw, it must have taken those guys forever to pull all the fuel out of a small stream like that.

oddly enough im not sure the TITAN is a good idea now. Looks like the quote is around $800-1000 for everything if they go with brand new. Might just snag the check and do it myself. As you know it is very easy and use the rest to get a EFIlive or something fun for the truck lol...im not liking my PPE anymore. Harsh shifts on the canned tune
