make sure the tank isn't galvanized, I am pretty sure that is what ruins the IP and injectors

The tanks on my f250 and bronco look to made from the same metals, i dont think galvanized metals are good for gassers, my bronco is efi so the tank openings are the same.. Just need to mod the pickup and straps

What's the problem with galvanized metal? I've never heard of a reaction with diesel fuel. Here's an ad for a 38 gallon fuel tank for the F-series truck. It's 6" higher than the stock 19 gallon tank, so it hangs down 6" lower.

The cost of teh tank is really reasonable. IT's the $100 shipping from California that gets you. Even so, it's the cheapest 38 gallon tank I've found.
