Re: Gas tank the same

It looks pretty close but not the same. Here are a couple of pictures of a new blazer tank that I just got. I need to figure out why my photos load upside down, sorry.

Re: Gas tank the same

Here is a picture of filler neck. Tank is 26 1/2" wide, 16" long(front to back), and 13" deep. All measurements not including seam/mount flange that sticks out about 2 1/2" all around.

I figured out my photo problem, I guess if you hold an Iphone upside down when taking photos they will load here upside down no matter what.

This is my tank with old neck installed, you can see how it is formed to fit around the body mount

Re: Gas tank the same

I don't want to hijack the thread, but was wondering if the rubber 1 3/8 hose that connects the tank to the filler neck is available? Mine is rock hard and I don't want to reuse it.I need it to be a bit longer than original, because I'm using a custom tank with the neck a bit further forward. Someone mentioned using rad hose because the fuel doesn't actually sit in it, but I'm concerned the ethanol will breakdown the rubber.
