S&B 47 Gallon Sprinter Van Fuel Tank Upgrade!

Sprinter Adventure Van Build Series Episode 18: In this installment of the Sprinter #VanLife Build Series we are upgrading the fuel tank in our van. Too many times we've cut it close not being able to find Diesel #2 or make it to a gas station on the remote stretches of our trips. This S&B 47 Gallon Tank basically doubles the range of our Sprinter giving us the option to fill up where fuel is cheaper and making it far greater distances in between. **IMPORTANT: If your van does not have the J51 code from the factory which uses the fuel float instead of the injectors for consumption metrics you will need this - https://tinyurl.com/j51-dongle. Also there is NO WAY for the actual range information on the sprinter van to be correct even if you have this dongle or code, this will simply make sure the gas gauge functions correctly. ** NOTE: We are not professional builders and this video is for entertainment purposes only. We base our decisions on our own research, decades of knowledge gained from building other things and always with an engineering mindset. You should always follow the manufacturers instructions, do you own research and ONLY attempt projects like this at your OWN risk. **NOTE: Some of the links below are affiliate links and we receive a small commission for purchases products through those end points. We will never recommend a product we don't stand behind and use ourselves. Everything listed below we used for our own build and weekly, if not daily, for our other ventures.
