gm26c fuel tank? anyone run one for fi?

looking into a fuel tank swap of course did some research with the gm14c tank its a good option but had a gm26c come up on market place its got the filler neck at the left rear which is better for my configuration of lwb stepside than the straight side fill (determined by tank orientation left or right)
this tank is from a 87 to 95 van so im assuming it should work just wondering if anyone has used it?

Re: gm26c fuel tank? anyone run one for fi?

I used a 31 gallon Squarebody Suburban (1985 since i didn't need electric fuel pump in tanK. I probably could have used the 40 gallon, but wasn't sure if the extra dept would be an issue (don't think it would, but I am OK with the 31 Gal.) Never thought of a van tank. I just took mine and rotated it 18o degrees so filler neck on drivers side. I would just measure the tank and see if it fits between the rails. You'll probably have to move the back cross brace on the framee to basically the end of the bend for clearance, but ith wasn't a big deal on my 70 LB. Mine is coil spring C10, so not sure if leafs on a 4WD/2WD would be nuch different.

2wd will be lowered and coil springs those are some good pics i dont think id want to go any bigger than your tank thats for sure, the van tank just came up on market place its a good price but it is massive! van and truck frames are different i guess vans have a unibody construction with a lite frame so not sure of the fitment.
