Aux Gas Tank 30 gal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71Subman · 11-10-2003, 01:06 PM

Selling an auxillary tank (30 gallons) that I took out of my 71 Suburban. It is 28" w X 54" l X 8" d. The filler neck is at one end, out of the top. The fuel line comes out of the bottom....close to center. I will post pics if there is any interest. Probably can't ship it, so you'd need to come get it. $50.00?

Where does it mount? I'd be interested in pictures, too.

Thanks in advance,

It was mounted behind the rear seat and bolted to the floor. The filler neck went out the side above the stock filler. You could easily mount it underneath, with some straps/brackets.

I am very interested in it also. Lets see some of them pics. I'm sure something could be fabbed up to mount it under the bed.

OK. Badpeanut gets first shot, then GreenMystChev....Here are some pics.

First, the overall tank

Fuel fitting in bottom...

Another bottom shot, showing the relative placecment of the fitting. The whole bottom of the tank is red and in the same shape as these pics show.

I'm going to pass mainly due to location.

71Subman · 11-12-2003, 12:25 PM

Yeah, they might frown on shipping an already used gas tank. GreenMyst, you still interested?

GreenMystChevy · 11-12-2003, 02:54 PM

Well, it's not going to work for what I am looking to do. It is going for a great price but just not the measurements I was looking for. I'm sure someone needs this. Thanks.
