galvanized tank and diesel fuel

[IDIeselman]

When rebuilding my truck I put in a factory tank from a 1986 gasser. Does anyone know if the gasser tanks were galvanized from the factory or will I be ok?

there's been a a fair amount of guys here putting in the galvanized tanks with no immeadiate problems to report. I'm from the old school where you aren't supposed to do that. I guess it boils down to the risk/reward dept. I am keeping a close eye on Brian Hagen since I know he has done so and he commutes with his truck daily.

When I had my 90 IDI I did it. The technology in todays galvanizing makes all the difference. The first time I did it I actually called the tank manufacturer about it. The acted like they never heard that before. I never had a probem with it though. You should be just fine.

most guys say not to use galvanized but our local bulk plant uses galvanized pipes for all thier tanks

My truck has a glavanized bronco tank in it and has for the past 10 years. When centruion did the conversion that's what they put in for a fuel tank. I've had no fuel system problems other than a fuel pump that went bad after 150k(normal).

I have seen problems w/ WVO in galvanized tanks.
