Aux fuel tank

The Blazer tanks dimensions, or the Fords is flawed. The Ford tank dimensions are larger, yet it is listed as 19 gallons and the Blazer tank 27. Something is not quite right.

I followed Mr.Bradys install of the 22 gallon Isuzu tank. My tanks.

One of the best things I have done! The 800 mile range is very comforting. I do need to add the option to transfer fuel to another vehicle. Thanks for that reminder.

well a blazers 26X26X9 = 6084 C.I. the tank works out to 26.33 gallons. Of course that is outside dims I'm sure so call it 24 in the tank.

The ranger tank at 25.5 X 32.5 X 8 = 6630 C.I.thats 28.7 gallons but again outside dims. so call it 26 gallons in the tank. I'm pretty sure that the ebay gallon size is wrong on the ranger tank.

It's decieving since there is a 1" difference in depth. It doesn't sound like much but with the length and width of these tanks it isa fair amount of volumne. I still like the ranger tank since it is lower profile which means adding a skid would make it 9" where as the blazer tank adding a skid would be 10". Nto sure yet thought still researching.

I like the look of the poly Ford tank. Does the fill location work ok for your application?

Ford fuel pumps for that year are notorious for failures. Picking up a salvage yard pump would be a good choice. If it fails then perhaps opt for and external pump? The cheap salvage yard assembly could be modified to work as a pickup. Hopefully the sender would work ok with the gauge you want.
