Re: Gas Tanks again.

I installed a 31 gal. tank in my blazer. I moved the stock rear crossmember back as far as it would go and got the front crossmember from a 73 up blazer/suburban. I think I used the stock filler tube from my original tank. It will have to be moved to the driver side of the tank. I bought a new tank and picked up a used sender as they are different than the 72 style. It is a pretty straightforward swap. I will be doing this again in the near future on my other blazer. I plan to take step by step pics for others to see. I will also be doing this without the body on the frame so it should be easier to see what is being done. I'm not sure but I think the 40gal. tank may be longer from front to back. If you look in a JC Whitney book they have the dimensions of all the different size tanks.
