towcat, if my front tank is smaller than my back one would that mean it was aftermarket? cuz i can go about 150 miles further on my back tank than the front. unless of course my tank selector is backwards? it also looks like my front tank is smaller. what does it all mean basil?!

It was my understanding that both tanks were @ 19 gallon, except shortbeds the front tank is shorter and smaller.

I can't find the proper reference to confirm at the moment.

*On Edit* Rear tank, all 19 gal. Front tank, 19 gal EXCEPT F-250 4x2 crew cab which is 16.5 gal.

Cab / chassis & 1/2 ton had some differences, I just quickly scanned diesel powered pickups (F-250 & F-350). The reference I had listed 83 - 86. As with any non-factory manual, don't take it as gospel.

Specs on my rig says 19 gal both tanks. My rear tank is now the aftermarket 38 gal and I put a 3/4" vent along side the filler fitting up fairly high in the tank and it holds 43 gal.
