Money Pit
My Money Pit that I call my truck needs new fuel tanks. I'll be buying them in a week or two.
Will this one work: Rear Fuel Tank
I can't, however, find the proper front tank. I keep finding the 16 gallon version. Does anyone know where to find the 20 gallon or whatever they are?

RockAuto Parts Catalog here's the front tank.
Sorry that didn't go to the right page, but just search through the pages for your truck and you'll see the tank in the fuel section. I'll find you a good rear tank to, hold on a second.

Ok, the biggest tank that fits in the rear (if you want to upgrade) is a 38 gallon tank out of a 1987 f-250 with a 7.5L gasser and its P/N is F26E. Only think you have to do is extend the sending unitfrom your tank, if you want I'll pull up the write up for you for it. If you just want to replace the stocker with a stocker then just get the one for your truck, just figured I'd throw it out there.

38 gallon tank write up Performance Injectors for 7.3L Ford Power Strokes
I'm doing it right now. Gotta snip two new notches for the sending unit to align it right, extend the return and pickup tubes, and extend the rod on the float.
Rockauto has great prices.

Are you guys sure that's right becuase I've put 19.5 or more gallons of fuel in the front tank several times?

Glenn, money pit is something you constantly throw money into.
Buying junk is getting ripped off. =)
The front tank sizes change all the time
I never get more than 18 in my front tank, and I've ran it dry.
*shrugs*
They changed it by a gallon here and there over the years, too hard to keep track.
Dont forget how much pumps foam the fuel, we really are getting ripped when buying fuel a lot of times.
Hm i wonder? =)
They try and tweak the pumps so when you buy X amount of fuel, it starts to cheat you after so many gallons.
Thats my personal thought though.
