Need some info. Firt is I have a 95 stroker and I found a fuel leak. I don't know if it's the line yet or the tank . But where could I get a cheap tank? And are the pumps on our trucks mechanical from the engines or do they have a pump inside the fuel tank. If so how easy would it be for me to swap tanks?

 

Our trucks have a two stage fuel pump in the engine valley, no tank pump. If it's the tank, drop it, clean it, and JB Weld it. If it's the line, cut and replace the bad section.
For another tank, I would check salvage yards, anything from a 90 - 97 (gas or diesel) will fit. To swap tanks, support with a jack, remove straps, lower until you can reach the fuel and electricial lines and disconnect them, then lower to the ground.

 

New tanks are around $100 at most parts stores.

 

Where do you see your fuel leak ??

 

Well there was fuel in the top of the spare and the plate under the tanks is completely wet and some dripped down onto the exhaust.

 

i don't know exactly what its from though

 

Pretty common for the tanks to rust out especially in your neck of the woods.

 

It could be that your rollover valve has come loose from the tank. I have seen this on several trucks over the years, it's only held in by an o-ring and friction. Also check the metal fuel line where it bends when leaving the tank, they can develop vibration cracks.

 

Oh yea, I forgot about that salt/snow stuff you have up there.
