Drained and pulled out my leaking gas tank. (My wife is happy that the smell of gas doesn't come in the windows of the house any more.) Figured out that the "too good to be true" deal I got on a used tank was in fact to good to be true. Now, there's nothing wrong with the tank, it's really in great shape. But in a complete lapse of brains I didn't remember that there are 2 sizes of gas tanks. Yup, you guessed it, the replacement tank is a 20 gallon and my truck is a short bed with a 16 gallon. Doh!!!
