69 vs. 70-72 fuel tanks
I'd like to replace the 54 year-old fuel tank in my 69 C10. But I want to use a tank with EEC to get rid of the gasoline smell in my garage.
Vendor pictures show the 70-72 tanks as having a tube close to the filler neck, but the the sending unit also has a tube next to the fuel line tube. Where are these connected to? Does one go a charcoal canister, and the other to a mechanical fuel pump with a return port? And did the factory run rubber lines all the way to the engine compartment? Oh, and will a 70-72 tank bolt in exactly like my 69 tank? Thanks.
