A lot depends where you go...if pure pavement, then just enough to go from station
to station...so OEM sized is just fine for that usage
Off-roaders, serious off-roaders know the value of carrying more fuel, water, food, etc...
Converted my 1973 K5 Blazer's OEM 24 gallon tank to a 54 gallon and made my trips
much easier on me not having to worry about fuel...and have to turn back
'cuz getting low on fuel
Here is a pic of my K5 before the conversion to Dana 60 front and GM 14 bolt rear,
that 54 gallon main tank and the tire rack still had only two Jerry Cans...later
welded it up to carry four Jerry cans.
Boise Idaho...typically there twice a year. Then wife's family lived there...left
her to to shopping with her mom and my daughters...while I went to the secret
place up in the Panhandle...some of the BEST fishing I've ever had
