'68 GMC 3/4 Ton & Gas Tanks
First post here:
A firend of mine has a 1968 GMC 3/4 PU. He just removed the behind-the-seat-tank, to make room for some 40/20/40 seats from a '02 Chevy. Now were working on a upgrade to a GM TPI Fuel Injection setup. One of the requirements is a return line. The problem is that the only tanks he has now are poly/plastic saddlebags. This won't work, and also offers no way to monitor the gas level. So what would the recommendation be? We went out to a local junkyard, and they have some early '80s GMC/Chevys with steel saddle tanks, these also have a return line plumbed already. We would just need to swap over the bracketry. Are there other/better tank swaps? Someone here mentioned a tank by the rear axle. Anyhow, we need a viable setup. Thanks, -PR '68 GMC 3/4 |

look Here for the FAQ on rear tank install.
Hope this helps a little! And it does have a return line. Also Fuelcellman makes great fuel cells from what I've heard.

Welcome to the board.
Why can't you run a poly tank? Many new cars and trucks run them, and they are under the AMGeneral Hummer (I guess it is just a chevy Hummer now huh?) |

I wouldn't want to try and fab a return line on a pure poly tank. Alot of the ones I've seen use a poly outside, and a steel inside.
Besides, the more "factory" the better. -PR |
