Default Ultra gas tank

Has anyone seen or done a custom gas tank on an Ultra.&nbsp\\; I'm tired of 30 mpg&nbsp\\;[:'(]&nbsp\\; and was wondering if it is possible to get a bigger tank put on my 07.&nbsp\\; If I understand it correctly, the 8's have a 6 gallo tank.&nbsp\\; Is it interchangeable with the 07?

Tanks are not interchangeable.&nbsp\\; I would check my tune, 30 mpg is way low.

I would say changing the tank won't improve your mileage, but I could be wrong.

30mpg? Dude...are going from stop light to stop light @ 120 mph?

My '07 Ultra was averaging 46.32 mpg (overall average). Lowest I ever got was 42mpg and I had a few fill-ups at 58mpg. My '07 Ultra had a Stage 1 & Rinehart TD's, which isn't much but it bumped my hp/torque up about fair amount.

wow, that's horrible gas mileage, have you looked at your spark plugs to see how they're burning? guessing black as all get out. i'd be lookin into getting it tuned properly first, and you wouldn't need a bigger gas tank.
