My gas tank is about 41 or 42 gallons is that normal?

I was at an 8th of a tank refilled it for the first time wow its been a long time since I drove something that would hold 40+ gallons.
I always wish my Land Cruiser had a larger tank.

Is that what everyone has or is mine an option maybe in the CST package?

Thanks PG

Sounds like you have dual tanks. Standard Blazer tank for all trucks is 21gal. Maybe you spilled some on the ground. Look under the truck and see if you have more than one tank. Maybe someone that has duals will chime in.

I have had duels before on other vehicles and non came out the side.
Maybe a PO changed to a custom larger tank?
I did that on a 92 Jeep Wrangler put a custom one in about that size.
Wish I had that thing again. PG

Probably just an aftermarket fuel tank. I have an old Northwest Metal Products tank on my Blazer that is rated at 38 gallons, but would probably take 40+ gallons if worked the pump handle.

My Jimmy has a 21 gallon tank. I've also heard of people swapping in Suburban 40 gallon tanks to the Jimmy/Blazer and pickup.
