Fuel Tank Quandry

Evening Y'all,

Went to the wrecking yard today looking for a rear mount fuel tank. I looked at the usuals, from vans and blazers, but I don't really want one that big. I happened across the tank from a 90 Isuzu Trooper, and it looks like it'll work really well. Has anybody ever tried this? I imagine the sending unit would work since I'm gonna use Autometer guages, but I'm not sure about the fuel pump assembly. The motor in the trooper is a 4 banger I think, so I don't imagine the pump will push enough fuel. I'm wondering if I can replace the pump with a regular pick up tube, and then run an inline, or manual pump.

Whatdya think?

Re: Fuel Tank Quandry

I also did what you're doing by going to the junkyard for ideas. I found a better resource with Ebay. Numerous people sell tanks for alot of cars and trucks and all the measurements are there also. I ended up with a Jeep CJ tank because they had V8's in them also. The fuel pickup for the sender is 5/16" which runs my V8 just fine. Probably wouldn't work for high HP apps. I am happy so far and I am only in it for about $120. Its 15 gallons and fits high enough where you can't see it like the Blazer tank.
