Diesel tanks... any difference???

Following a link that Frizzle Fry posted in the "low buck truck build" thread, i found a blazer tank cheap, but it is listed as Diesel...

Were there any differences with the diesel tanks?
Any reason it couldn't or shouldn't be used with regular dino juice?

for 25 bucks and 21 shipped, it's a deal id be to pass up...

wash it out good and it will be fine. if your not fuel injected you will need to plug the return line on the tank. plus diesel tanks are 40 gal I think.

Don't thank me, thank Frizzle Fry...

as i stated above, He posted the link in the "Low buck" build thread along with pics of his tank that he ordered from that site.

I agree, great bargains, I am seriously considering one of the rear ends they have listed. brand new 10 bolt, 3:08 Posi, with complete with brakes and e brake cables. $347.

the down side, 6 lug, for 73-88 trucks, although for the price, it's almost worth modifying for use under my 72
