I like the dual tanks in my obs fords. I also spotted a 42gal bronco tan scratch and dent on Amazon and replaced the rear tank in my powerstroke with it.
Now a buddy of mine was cleaning out his grage and offered me a good condition 98 chevy surburban 40 gallon tank. I want to run black diesel on my 12v long trips but haven't got a sip tank yet. I just dropped the spare, unbolted the wrench and stuffed the burban tank up there. Overall I'm happy with the fit. There is two low spots in the rear of the tire bracket to hold the tire in place. Im not sure if I should A. Cut some wood blocks to lower the tank slightly. Or B. Hammer in a couple of groves in the tank to hold it securely.
As far and securing the tank im thinking a couple of custom length ratchet straps.
As far as the supply and return im thinking a aluminum sump like I did on the powerstroke. The drain plug is nice if your unsure of the quality of fuel and want to fuge it again.
The tank had no sending unit but as most are based off of resistance, I can either find a surburban one. I might try a spare ford one, or maybe even hack in a dodge one and put a tank switch on the dash .
I don't know if anyone's tried it but a clean dual tank setup appeals to me even if I need to pack a spare in the bed or fab a bracket for it elsewhere.
