Another Gas Tank Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Palf70Step** · 08-14-2002, 09:31 PM

Been noticing alot about relocating the gas tank, but as I been checking into this for my 70 SB I notice that most of the kits mention the use of 21 gal Poly tanks. I am not real hip on haveing a plastic bottle for a gas tank...especially in the south here.

Do any of you know someone with a kit that uses a metal tank?

Also I notice on GMC Pauls as with some earlier posts, there was mention of a 31 gal suburban tank that could be used.

I like the idea of the larger tank and was wondering if it will work on a stortbed stepside, or would I be better off sticking with a 21 gal tank?

Thanks

I'm using a 19 gallon aluminum tank from No Limit Engineering, easy install and works well with your stock fuel gauge...

check the salvage yards, I have a steel one from either a van or an old camaro. I think its too small though, only about 12 gal.
