smaller tank

Hi,

The gas tank in my 90 bronco has started to leak, and I was wondering if a smaller tank out of a f150 would fit. My fuel pump is noisy so I will use the one for the truck anyway. I would like to use a smaller tank because the stock tank hangs down to low, and $60 for a fill up is depressing.

no i dont think a tank from an f150 will cause they are long and wont be able to clear everything . 100 bucks at a parts store will get u a new aftermarket tank. ford dealer it is 500 for the same thing.

I'm talking about a rear tank not a front tank

u r still better off jus going out and buying a stock replacement than trying to convert to a smaller tank. cause the filler neck might not line up right, need to mount new straps to hold it in place

why go smaller, you might need that whole 35ga. of fuel, like when your in the middle of nowhere.
