Moved gas tank on the 42

I am sure there are other ways of doing this, but I removed the stock under seat tank to lower my seat 1.75" - creature comfort. I use a Caravan 2nd seat. I still have a dummy fill on passenger side cab - cannot be used.

I purchase a stock 1990 Blazer 20 gallon tank and placed behind the rear axle. I am guessing but it seems to me these may have been used mainly on 4WD models - dunno. I moved it forward so as not to notice it because I do not use a bumper apron.

It is an EFI tank and sender, however I do not plan on putting EFI on it. I run a Holley inline to feed my 1406 with fuel filters on both sides of the pump. I had never run a mechanical pump as there was inadequate frame room on my S-10 frame.

I used the return port for the pump feed and the tank vent to vent. Plugged the fill vent and the in-tank pump port. The in-tank pump electric feed is capped and shrank. I ran the float gauge wire to the dash and grounded the tank well.

I still need to place the in-bed fill when I get the 2 inch hose.

The Dolphin fuel sender and gauge are 0 ohms empty and 90 ohms full.

I will see what works soon.
