Anybody Install a 31 Gallon 2nd Gen. Gas Tank?
I just reinstalled my original tank with all new hoses (except the fill hose) and figured I had my gas tank leak fixed. I thought the vent hose was leaking when the tank was full because I found a crack in the hose. Well, it appears the tank is STILL leaking where the fill pipe goes into the tank. I inspected the tank closely but saw no leak point, but with the tank all cleaned up and painted, I can definately see it coming from that area.
At least when I take it down this time, I won't get dirt in my eyes cause I scraped off all the mud and hosed it all off with the garden hose. I still have to drain the tank though...
Anyways, rather than fixing my original tank, I was thinking of installing a 31 gallon tank from a 91 Blazer. I can buy a new one for just over 200 Canuckian dollars. It has the baffles, etc. for an in tank fuel pump, as I am planning on going fuel injected in the future anyways. I know that the filler is on the wrong side, and the straps run the opposite way, but I have heard that you can flip the tank the opposite way and add a crossmember for the straps.
Has anyone tried this?
