PICS of the 13gal tank and a stocker.

I picked up a few 13gal tanks today and just though I'd share them with all of you. You can clearly see the differances between the two.

The smaller one can also be cut down a few more inches to get it down to 10 gal if so desired.

You typically find the 13 gal in a super elcheapo 4cyl s-10. you can easily spot them by looking in the rear fender as they do not extend under the cab as the normal stock tank does.

John.....I see where we were talking about cutting the one you got for me. I'll probably just go ahead and try to convert mine to 10 gal.

Cool beans.

I just installed my 13 gal tank. The tank weighs 16# vs 19# for the stock one. The depth on the 13 gal tank I got was 1 inch less than the stock tank. I had to put the tank in my press and bend the bottom on the tank some and also bend the return tube on the pump assembly to shorten it to make the pickup depth correct. After doing a 3lb hammer mod to the lower front and rear its about 12 gal. The gauge shows 1/2 full with 5.5 gal in the tank now!

Thanks JWaller for getting it for me I know it was a pain.

Anyone know of a smaller tank for the Ty?

Be nice to get something lighter and less likely to slosh without going full custom fuel cell.

Gas tank for Typhoon is the same size as the 4-cyl 2.5l L-38

GM does make a 20 gal tank [ RPO: NQE ], which is no part number listed for.

How many gallons is the stock Ty tank?

Is there not a plastic fuel tank that would act as a suitable replacement? It would be significantly lighter than even the 13 gallon tank.

My Ranger has one...seems plausible GM would have one as well.
