Another question for Keith Seymore

Few years back I drove an 88 Chevy one ton that was bought as a cab and chassis.Company I work for put a mechanics bed on it

My question is, when this thing had a 454 in it why on earth did this thing have a single 16 gallon fuel tank.By the end of the year the company credit card wouldn't swipe.It was worn out

Never had a chance to ask why then.

Re: Another question for Keith Seymore

Well - usually the only thing(s) that limit fuel tank size are either (a) packaging space or (b) weight limitations (like if carrying too much fuel would put you over the GVW rating).

If that wasn't the case then I would have to guess your boss was too cheap to order an auxiliary tank...



Other than that, I don't know -
