Hello everybody

I am new to the forum I have had a 70 C10 chevy for 10 years without a engine or transmission I just bough a engine and transmission from 95 chevy truck complete with wiring and PCM so the project is just now beginning my question is I have been looking at fuel tank relocation here for some time and I am going to try to use a fuel tank out of a jeep YJ 87-90 the measurements are 25 1/8" x 18 1/2" x 10 7/8" has anyone used this kinda tank? The measurements are close to the fuel cell everyone likes but it has a filler neck out the side for improved filling? I will use a jegs fuel pump on the frame rail for the EFI. Any advice would be appreciated.

I can't help on the Jeep tank but welcome to the board. A lot of people use the Blazer tanks and there are some threads on here about the install...

Re: Hello everybody

Toy: I used this exact tank on my 70. It fit beautifully! Looks almost like it was made to go there, and doesn't hang down as low as the blazer tanks.
