Currently my 1986 C30 has dual 20 gallon saddle tanks. I have found debris and crude in the lines so I will be completely replacing the fuel system in the truck. I have ordered new lines and came across a great deal for 2 brand new 16 gallon saddle tanks.

I know the 16 gallon tanks are shorter and imagine the filler hose will be longer, but is there any other differences I should be aware of?

Thanks.
