Re: Auillary tank capacity

Your tank.is an aftermarket. There were a number of companies that made these in a number of styles. Both singles (like the factory NL2) or in pairs. The end fills were the cleanest installation without hacking holes in the bedsides. Most ran between 17 and 19 gallons each.

Thanks Tim, much appreciated. Any idea who the manufacturers were and if there are still in business? Want info on sending units and mounting the tank. Plan to take a look at it this weekend.

Re: Auillary tank capacity

Doubt that any of the manufacturers are still around. Without a sticker or stamping the maufacturer will remain unknown. The sending unit is likely fairly common. Pull it out and clean it up. Might be repairable or at least identifiable. Most of the tanks were suspended by through bolts and located with a body flange or tabs. The factory used a similar system that was much more refined than most of the aftermarkets long bolts with nuts and washers. Here are a couple of pictures to help.
