Re: is it possible to add a second fuel tank
Update on aux fuel tank: I bought a new 42 gallon tank that fits 92-97 suburban. Went to salvage yard and got wiring, straps to hold up tank, filler hose and cap, fuel lines, and bought hoses to extend fuel lines. I have installed tank, installed and wired gauge into dash, new fuel pump in tank, wired. now just need to connect hoses , and finish filler tube. Fill tube is a bit of a problem, but bought 2 inch exhaust pipe, and will fabricate part of filler tube from that. Before I did all that I replaced some sensors on engine, EGR valve, O2 sensor, plugs and wires. MPG went from 5.92 to 10.35 at 60 mph,on cruise, no toad. if that keeps up I could get by with one tank!551Views0likes0CommentsRe: is it possible to add a second fuel tank
tderonne, if I can find a 55 that will work for me it would be great. Do you know what year model you got it from? My rv has twin I beam suspension on front, and as I understand it F53 has a straight axle. I should also point out, it has a low pressure fuel pump in tank, and a high pressure fuel pump on the frame, near the engine area. So any tank I put on will need to work with my type tank pump/assy, or with a low pressure in tank unit of differnt year model. I really appriciate all of the replies and suggestions552Views0likes0CommentsRe: is it possible to add a second fuel tank
well Fleetman, transflow site only showed options for F series fords, no E series. I may measure area between drive shaft and frame, then go to salvage yard and look for a van with mid tank, and see about getting tank and mounting parts. then add an electric fuel pump and hose to transfer fuel to existing tank.239Views0likes0Comments
