Hickey Enterprises Aux Fuel Tanks.
After we get this bit trip done i plan to escape the rig and get home and i will finally get some pics of the tanks i aquired years back before the move and all.
I am going to see if they will fit in my 79 K5....if not i will be looking to make sure they go to a good home. One is oem HE complete with the shipping decal still on the tank...the other is a aluminum copy. DW

Re: Hickey Enterprises Aux Fuel Tanks.

Re: Hickey Enterprises Aux Fuel Tanks.
Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I have a double wall top with OEM auxilary gas tank receptacles on both sides (see pic).
The receptacles are secured with a threaded metal cap. I've never used them. My Blazer, which was purchased a year ago, did not come with aux tanks. I have previously tried to trade the top for a soft convertible top, such as a BesTop, without success. I might also consider selling the top outright for the right $$$. What do you reckon it's worth?

Re: Hickey Enterprises Aux Fuel Tanks.
Agreed. Possibly dealer installed, but not OEM. The Hickey tanks (and other accessories) were dealer installs or aftermarket.

Re: Hickey Enterprises Aux Fuel Tanks.
RED, did you see the single wall on CL for $500? It says pending pickup, but ya might check it out in the auto parts section.

Re: Hickey Enterprises Aux Fuel Tanks.
Someone jumped on it quickly. It said pending pickup when I saw the post and it wasn't too long after the time stamp said it was posted.

Re: Hickey Enterprises Aux Fuel Tanks.
I had a set of those in my first Blazer before I knew anything about Blazers. It had a roof rack, two AUX tanks, Skid plates (OEM) Swing away spare tire carrier, etc, etc and I stripped it all off and gave/threw it away!

Re: Hickey Enterprises Aux Fuel Tanks.
I would guess one could remove the tanks and flush them with water and have a metal shop gently remove a side and install baffles to cure the issue...
I'd love to find the installation documents for these tanks. If they fit my 79 i think i will have baffles installed and poss. mod the lines so i can electronically control the fuel in each tank so it will refill the main tank. DW
