Fuel Tank question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got an 87 swb silverado 2wd with the dual tanks. I've been filling up the driver's side tank and decided to try the passenger side. Well I put about $30 worth of fuel in and it all leaked out at a parking lot

. I removed the plastic shield and that tank is pretty shot. Are these tanks 16 or the 20 gal version? I believe they are the smaller 16. Also, not the straps, but the 2 big metal brackets where the shield mounts to are rotted. I can't find replacements , any recommendations? Also, does the 305 tbi have a mechanical fuel pump or is there an electrical in-tank pump, in both tanks? How hard is it to replace the passenger side tank?
