Re: Blazer tanks
 

mine is a 87 blazer tank. i used it so i could use the in tank elec pump. captkoas can hook you up with everything you need for the swap.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Thanks so much! That is perfect.

Here's Captkaos's how to http://www.captkaoscustoms.com/suicidal.html click on the "how to" on the left.

Re: Blazer tanks

Re: Blazer tanks

Re: Blazer tanks

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Bringing this one back to the top. What size tank are you guys using? It looks like the 31 gallon is the one that was in the 88-91 Blazers. But I am concerned about overall height. The 25 gallon is listed (lmc) at 10.75" tall vs the 31 gallon at 12.75". I know I can get under my truck and do all the measuring in the world. But I also know that just measuring does not truly show where it will sit. My clearance is limited as alot of you know.

I am at the point of deciding if I am going to pursue a Blazer tank and use the stock in tank pump with a regulator. Or just keep the saddle tanks and get a new inline pump. I think the cost will be close either way. I would really rather do the Blazer tank. I just want to be as sure as I can that it will fit.

still not 1 picture of 1 installed with bed on too see how low it hangs.. hhhuuummm cant believe no1 has one picture

Re: Blazer tanks
 

TTT for an answer on tank size and maybe some good pics under fully assembled trucks.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

hahaha the pictures will never come ahahaha

Re: Blazer tanks
 

I found a 31 gallon. Picking it up this weekend hopefully. I guess we just wait and see what I figure out.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Gerald, I'm picking up a 31 this weekend. How's yours going?

Re: Blazer tanks
 

I PM'd OJOE about it before and he said the tank hangs 6" below his frame. He said his bumper is 14" off the ground and the tank is 11" off the ground.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Wow, I'm going to have to check tonight then. I don't know if I've got that room to spare.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

I was thinking someone told me the 31 gallon tank would not work on a SWB, had to be the 25 gallon. The 31 gallon tank hanging underneath my suburban comes down 7.5" below the bottom of the frame, if that helps at all in your measuring. There is a void between the tank and the floor, but it is not but maybe 1/2" really.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

the 40 gallon tank won't fit under a stock height or lowered short bed, the 25 and 31 gallon tanks are the same length and width with the 31 being 2" taller then the 25 gallon, either the 25 or 31 should work in a short bed

Re: Blazer tanks
 

That's what I meant. Yeah, that's it.

Ok, measured mine finally, it's a 31 gallon with a skid shield. I'm also guessing the 89 year will have the fuel pump in the tank like the trucks? That would make it easier for a LS type engine swap?

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Well hell, there's a 40g that doesn't fit??? I learn too much after the fact.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

You could make it fit, just could not have a rear bumper probably. :lol:

Low87, I'd go out on a limb here and say the only way a burb would have a 40 gallon tank would be special order, or a 3/4 ton 454 engine model.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

I don't have a rear bumper....only a pan. I get what you're saying though. I'm just concerned about the possibility of this '91 Burb having a 40 since it's a conversion. We'll see. BTW Randy, I don't have to figure out how to pull the tank, he did it for me.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

my half ton '89 parts 'burb with a 350 had a 40 gallon tank....
dunno if it was special order.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

You're not helping Joe.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

:lol:
why not :rolleyes:

Re: Blazer tanks
 

If he pulled it, get him to measure it real fast. Might save you a trip. If it is a 40, convince him he has something very very very special so he'll never sell it. :lol: I was actually hoping mine was a 40, so I could keep it for the special "can I get 3 tanks to work" mod.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

As long as it is from a TBI 5.7 application the tank will have the EFI sump from 87-91. The diesel Blazer tank I have from the same vintage does not have the in-tank pump.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Randy, too late. Went and got it. Looked like a 31 from my visual measurement. Just measured it in my driveway....it's a 40. :(
Need my super limited tank? Gotta see if he's got another that he'll swap me out I'd no one here needs a 40.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

guess you need to recalibrate your eyeballs, huh?
:lol:
that sucks
Is it a TBI tank?

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Joe, I guess so. It looked like a square to me on the ground at his place. It is a TBI tank, from a 91 Burb.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Talk Randy into buying it for his project ;)

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Don't tempt me. I just love the thought of being able to hold that much fuel. Have to find me a 3 way switch instead of just the LEFT RIGHT switch. I gotta put on my thinking cap now.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Want a picture Randy??? Real cheap, I can even beat Petco's weekend sale of $1 per gallon.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Let me ponder. We might be seeing each other Monday. :lol:

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Guys, that is a lot of good info there. I the tank that we found has not come through yet. I am still hopeful though. What are the dimensions on said 40 gallon tanks?

Re: Blazer tanks
 

;)

Re: Blazer tanks
 

I verify the 40g measurements. I also know it fits in the trunk of an '06 Chrysler 300.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

Well, it looks like I finally found a tank. (Well my buddy Adam found me one.) I should know more this weekend. I am gonna try to sneak away from the inlaws to go pull it from his "new" parts burb.

Re: Blazer tanks
 

I've got mine awaiting install too. Also picked up new pump/sending unit and straps.
