Anyone added fuel capacity for extra range?

[bobc455]

My daily commute is 145 miles, if I don't have to run errands or anything. So I am at a gas station too often.

Anyone added a fuel cell, or come up with other creative ways to increase fuel capacity?

Buy a Prius.

Buy a Prius.

cost effectiveness: terrible.

you could add another fuel cell in the trunk, but kinda seems like a lot of effort to save yourself from stopping at the gas station. what kind of gas mileage are you getting currently?

Added 5-10 gallon fuel cell would be a cool idea, just have to tap the tank for the fuel to drain down into it. I'd even put a valve on it, and just open it once you are near empty.


I'd just guess that you get 2.5-3 days from a tank of gas.

Yeah, I fill up at least 3x/week. I do a lot of other driving in addition to my commute...

I'm getting between 23-26 MPG, depending on traffic conditions, snow, etc. I think MPG is okay, I just need more M's. And something around 5-10 gallons would be perfect.

I've thought about a fuel cell. Maybe even in the spare tire well. I'm sure I could invent something (a pump arrangement, venting, etc.) but I'm just wondering if anyone has already gone down this road and could save me some invention.

Remove rear seats and any other additional weight u font need.

Buy a cheap cell and drill a hole through the trunk floor driver side so the line can meet the main fuel tank entry line and buy a 3 way t fitting to attach to.

Easily reversible if needed. And no extra electronics
