Re: fuel tank interchange
If you have a long bed you can put a 20gallon tank in but it uses different full hoses if it's a shortbed it's a 16 an you can't put a 20 in

Re: fuel tank interchange

Yes, it is possible to put 20 gallon tank(s) in place of original 16's on a long bed. I believe the front mounts stay in the same location and only the rear mounts need to be moved. There should already be holes in the frame for the rear mounts to be moved to the 20 gallon tank location. And you'll also have to remove the filler pipe extensions and connect the hoses directly to the tanks. |
