Fuel Tank

I don't have the bed of my truck off to take measurements, but I wonder if this tank would fit without hanging too low?

My tank is 27 gallons so they should be similar. But that one seems way taller than mine. I can measure it tomorrow. Does this one have dimensions? The mounting tabs look way too low. Like the tank would be up in the bed. What are the tanks gumby is using? They look really good.

They've got some dimensions listed, here is the height I believe, there's a lot more listed on their page. Gumby's are too small for what I am looking for, I'd like at least 25 gallons to have any sort of range on E85.

Have you looked at 1989 Super Duty high capacity tanks? They’re 38 gallon and supposedly aren’t quite as deep as the Bronco tanks allowing a bit more clearance to the ground. I’ve been thinking about getting one to try, but haven’t figured out a fuel pump canister yet that will work. I’m wondering if something from Holley could be made to work?

I've looked at those, but I'd rather not go through the trouble of sumping it, changing fuel sender type, baffling it, etc.

I'll measure mine when I get home later this evening.

Thank you!

30 wide x 25 long x8 1/2 tall. Then the kick up for the fill is 3 inches taller. The tabs are about 2 inches down the side and 5 inches below that kick up.

It's right at 27 gallons. Not much room all the way around it.

Thanks Glen! Sounds like that Bronco tank is a lot narrower and deeper.

Some more pics. If it was much deeper I think it would be fairly low.
