I've got a 60 gallon Titan in my '15 F350. I reset the tank size using Forscan. When the needle touches E I've got an indicated fuel capacity of ~4.5%, an estimated range of ~45-50 miles, and it takes ~45 gallons to fill it. Last month I got the estimated range down to 15 (yeah, I know, not smart), got almost a gallon of fuel out of it when I ran the secondary filter outlet into a can until it went dry, and it took 50 gallons to fill from there.

So the actual usable capacity is 50 gallons (if you're brave), which allows me to drive all day pulling our 6,000 pound travel trailer. I've made it 600 miles more than once. Very, very happy.

The only thing I don't like is that it burps fuel if I let the pump click off by itself, so I have to listen for it to be getting to the top and shut it off manually. Titan says that it can do that if the fill and vent tubes are routed improperly, but mine look like they're right. I should call them back, they do respond, but it's only a minor annoyance. Also, the tight fit makes it a PIA to pull the lift pump assembly, which is a less minor annoyance but shouldn't need to be done much.

Titan claims that the material and thickness they use is tough enough that you won't need a skid plate. Give them a call.

I didn't want to deal with disposing of the old tank, so I called the local installer listed at their website and found that parts and labor there was about the same as having it shipped to my house and doing it myself. So I drove down and had a relaxing breakfast while they did the swap.

It's great to not have to be planning the next fuel stop before I even leave the station.

If you can only get 45-50 gallons in your tank, then it sounds like you may have a problem; I also have a 60 gallon Titan tank and my average fill-ups range from 50 to 57 gallons. In going back through my log on Fuelly (see signature block), the most I've pumped into my tank was 57.287 gallons, but I know the tank wasn't completely empty then either.

If you can't get any more than 50 gallons, something isn't right. I don't mean to offend you with the question, but are you sure you don't have the 50 gallon tank installed? I know they sell both options for CCSB trucks, so it's possibly they shipped you the wrong one by mistake. Either that, or you're getting an EXTREME amount of foaming when you fill-up.

Good question, no offense taken at all!

I just called Titan, from the serial number they say it's a 60-gallon tank but have asked for photos to confirm. Working with them now to figure out the issue, they say that I should absolutely have 60 gallons usable. Thanks for asking, if you hadn't I might not have followed up because I've already got a ton of range as it is. It is tough to get a good look at the lines all the way to the tank inlet, so maybe I've missed a kink or something.

Can you post a picture of your tank? The 50 looks way different from the 60, so it should be obvious which one you have. The 60 gallon extends under your frame rail for the length of the tank, but the 50 gallon only does this for about two feet or less. Also the 60 gallon has a "tail" on the end that extends under the bottom of your DEF tank while the 50 gallon has is flat on the end:

Titan asked the same thing, I sent a photo of the front end confirming it's a 60. The other features you mention also match a 60.

I don't have Forscan, and don't plan to buy one at this time, so that is a big cost savings over taking to the dealer to recalibrate.

Forscan's about the cheapest OBD tool you can find, and it's got a ton of functionality, much more than more expnsive ones. The OBDLink EX FORScan OBD Adapter I use with my laptop was $60 on Amazon, and the Forscan license was... what, maybe $20? It's a great deal, I highly recommend it.

I'm also a bit leery of the Titan tank now after reading @chilehed 's account of only having 45-50 usable gallons.

Remember that a number of people are saying that they have no such problem wuth the same tank, that it's probably an issue with my install. I haven't been able to do any further diagnosis on it yet, so more will be revealed.

I missed the 'period,' and it's only $12.00 per year.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person who does that stuff.

Oh, and you only need the license to make setting changes (tank capacity, dark mode and navigation entry while moving on, etc.), if you just want to look at data you don't need it.
