fuel tank question

Does anyone know of a supplier for early bronco rear gas tanks with a 16-18 gallon capacity? I've only seen stock (about 11 gal) and a huge, wallet breaking 23 gal. Its got the aux. but I'm only using my rear because of the efi conversion and I'm kinda trying to stay away from a switching valve if possible. In my area we pay $2.89 per gal. , so filling 23 gal. tank will be alittle costly for me. Thanks for any replies..

buy the 23 gal tank and only put 16 - 18 gal in at a time? better look before buying, most of the bigger tanks require a body kift for clearance for the bigger tank.

I'm not aware of anybody making a smaller tank than 23 gallon. You could have one built to your specs, but the cost is going to be about the same or more than the 23 gallon.

All of the standard 23 gallon tanks will work without a body lift. There are some companies making fuel tanks with a larger capacity specifically for body lift applications.

It will cost the same if you fill it up with a 1/4 tank left.....

thanks for the info guys, makes sense to get the larger tank and fill only the amount I can afford at that time. I was hoping to find something alittle cheaper and lighter to ship to Hawaii because we pay quite abit more shipping then continental US. Oh well if I need it, I need it.
Hey RCrawler, I sent you an e-mail. I'm intrested in your injectors. Also if you get a chance, visit my gallery. I've posted pictures on my ECM mounting location.
thanks again guys
