Gas Tank

I have an 85 S10 2wd Shortbed. I want to put a bigger gas tank in it, because mine only holds about 12 gallons. the truck has a V8 in it and I have to stop for gas about every 3 days. Did they make a bigger tank for the short bed trucks, or am I just going to have to live with it?

You can get a 20 gal from summit

fuel cells for the box too

What about a gas tank from another S10? Will it fit?

yeah, it will fit fine... Just make sure you flush it thouroughly...(lots of brake clean) to get as much debri out of it as you can... Pull the sending unit and check inside with a flash light to look for rusting...Any rust, move on to the next tank.

Thanks, I appreciate all the help.

No prob, Just on a side note you're going to need a new sending unit. You're existing one won't read it right...

I think i found a good candidate in the j-yard for both parts, but the weather in southwestern PA is
about to go cold again so it will have to wait.

Tell me about it (I'm in North Hills)... Go to Wagners autowrecking in Harmony (just next to Zelinople) Tell him Rick sent you.... He'll give you a good deal on both parts...

BTW, do you know about the March 19th meet at bufflaoes?

March 19 buffaloes??? I think I can probably get the tank & sending unit for about $25 at a yard near me. (U Pull it place.) they have about 50 S10s there.

Cool... If you don't find one with a good sending unit Check Wagner's or New Castle autowrecking...(at new castle ask for Adam)

Yeah, Buffaloes on the 19th, you can check the thread here... http://s-seriesforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66312
