Ok so i have a front tank delete option on my truck so i only have a rear tank, and no way to put a front one in with out cutting up my rear quarter for a filler.

I also have a 1993 full size bronco in my stable. and it got me to thinking.


Can we mount a 33 gallon tank from the bronco's into our trucks rear position, using all the mounting hardware and fuel level sender from the bronco, and just loose the spare tire?

It seems to me that it would work, and then we would have 33 gallon capacity, extra traction, and only one tank to worry about.

Any thoughts??

yes, but the tank will hang down as low,or lower than the spare tire.that is why no one does it.

HYPEracing

yeah but isnt the spare tire tucked up in there pretty good? i mean as long as it didnt hang down lower than the diff, and maybe a skid pan. i mean this is a street truck after all. just a thought i suppose

giddyup

someone has done it....but it hung down atleast as far as the spare...
easy way to see it to get the measuring tape out...

or just look at the bronco that the tank is in. It will be just as low on the truck.

see its really not all that low on my bronco. it is far enough up in there i wouldnt worry about it on my p/u. besides when i put the 18's on it my spare will be useless

The Bronco tank isn't as low as the spare. The spare hangs down MORE than the section width of the inflated tire (~11") because of the bracket arm under it; the Bronco tank only hangs 8" (the height of the skidplate).
