gas tank difference from years range?

Well I was check craiglist and found 2 no rust gas tanks for steal deal.

It came from 89 F250. NO Rust I couldn't believe.

When I check Advanced auto for compare 89 and 95 F250. They don't use same gas tank.

What make it difference?

Is the '89 a fuel-injected truck? If so then yes, the tank should foit the '95 just fine. If the '89 was a carbed engine, however, then the hole in the top of the tank for the fuel sender assembly to drop in will be too small for the in-tank fuel pump that the '95 has.

Then there is the matter of which tank you're replacing - rear tanks are most 19 gallons on the 3/4-ton trucks so that's a go, but the front ones can range from 19 gallons for the 2wd trucks down to 16 gallon for the 4x4 trucks (with them the transfer case gets in the way of the longer tank) and swapping a short one where the long tank was is not a direct bolt-in...

and the 89 tanks could be diesel tanks, which would explain why there is no rust .

No I look before email.

It fuel injector. I don't think guy actually drive truck in winter because tank look too great.

If you look gas tanks on my plow truck it so so so BAD that I am very worry if it pop leak while drive.



Guy say it for 87-89 F150-F250. It look exact to my gas tanks but I don't understand why advanced auto part don't say it same gas tank.

Who knows, besides catalogs can be wrong too - if it looks just like one of your tanks, then it will fit, so buy it.
