http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/fd/full.aspx?Page=117 Will this work my rear fuel tank on my truck. I have been using my front tank only since I have some fuel lines leaking and today I noticed my front tank is leaking now. I'm just goint to use a rear tank if this will fit.

Don't see why it would not work. I want more capacity in my truck so I stole a 45 gallon rear transferflow out of one of my parts trucks before I sold it off. Now I just need to find the time to install it.

I ask because alot of websites that advertise these tanks say will only work on gas engines. They say they will not work on diesels. Anybody know why? Only thing I can think of is if they are made different if the fuel pump was in the tank.

i dont think it will work if its gavalnized. i think diesel and gavalnized metal dont get along, but i could be wrong.

It will work but you will read empty longer

Your are correct on diesel and galvanized. The diesel causes the galvanizing to "sluff" off and end up in places like injection pumps or injectors (bad). Fuel pickup/sender mounts may be different?

I did not know that about galvanize and diesel. Well maybe I need to call them and ask. The description said it came with everything to extend the old sending unit.

Galvanizing does not matter, It is on the outside of the tank, not inside

 

[RWF350]

Diesel Brad could be right, but I know some older tanks were galvanized on the inside as well.

thanks alot. I'm going to give lmc a shout tomorrow and ask about it cause I'm needing to at least get one tank usable.

ya, I think they only coat the outside. The gas engine 460 truck tanks will work, no reason this one will not either.
