My wife's moose buggy holds 80 gallons and we carry another 60-75 gallons in 15 gallon jugs when we go hunting and we stay out for 3+ weeks.

20gal (stock behind the seat tank)
Mostly off road /weekend toy
Don't need more but planning of getting the tank out of the cab
lasts a weekend at the local off-road park
Stock 16gal saddle tank (shortbed)
Dual Purpose, mostly road
305HO,465,208,fully locked, 4.10s, 35"
Yes, I don't like to push more than 130 miles between fill ups and thats too often
I can wheel all day on a full tank and drive home, but will have to fill up before going anywhere else.
86 K15 305/400/208/4.10's/38's
33gal Isuzu diesel tank mounted in the bed(it was free)
mostly offroad/weekend toy
haven't used with new tank but with old 16gal side saddle tank it would last a day which included driving to the trail and almost running out on the way out.

Whoa. How much does it cost you to fill all that up? I assume gas is a lot cheaper in Alaska!
Sounds like a decent starting place.
And whoever said filling up every 150 miles, thats nuts.
Ive definitely driven 600+ w/o stopping, regularly drive 2-300 w/o stopping. Would HATE to fill up every 150.
Burned 40 gal going about 150 miles once.....i was a little loaded down
Really, unless weight is a concern, i say error waaay on tee safe side. And on your Dually crew cab beast, whats a few more hundred pounds?
My K5 is still under construction so the above info is from my old wheeler.
Doing a little r&d for fuel cells???

Failed to mention mine is 100% street use, tow/travel rig. So obviously i burn a lot of fuel in a day.

Yes I know... Well with only 16 gallons to work with and about 10mpgs I have to make frequent stops...
I can hold 31 gallons
dual purpose rig
tbi 350/700/4:1/5.38's/42tsls
i wish I had even more fuel
15-20 gallons a day on a wheeling trip. Although I go wheeling at least an hour away and drive to and from.

Stock 31 gallon tank
Offroad only for now, would like to take it on the street one day
see sig
No, Im happy with the amount, just wish it didnt hang down so low
Ive wheeled the whole weekend and still had at least a 1/2 tank
I do stock 31 gallon tank, mostly off road never run out, but if I am in the dunes or mud all day I will get down quite a bit, I need to fill up before I go home if I am in mud or dunes

I can't build fuel cells or tanks. I can make you a water tank though.

Niiiiice...
I'll have to save up some $$ for an aux water tank that fits under the rear of my K5. You know, in case I need to wash my hands on the trail. 
Dual 16 gallon saddle tanks
Dual purpose, more street then dirt for now
82 k10, 60/14, 4:56s, 700r4, 208, modded 6.5td, 35/12.5R17
yes I wish it held more
Truck averages about 15 mpg, haven't gone on a wheeling trip with it yet.
Figure this is a good time to ask, are there any laws or requirements to building your own fuel tank? I'm a welder by trader so I'm not worried about that. I plan to inboard my fuel tanks one day and I was planning to just build my own. But I'm not sure of regulations or anything concerning it.
