25 or 31 gallon fuel tank relocate?

[347strokin]

Hi guys,

I know I've run across this info somewhere in a thread in the past but of course I can't find the info when I need it.

I'm ditching my saddle tanks and I'm ordering a Blazer/Burban tank for my 87' C10.

It's currently a long box but it will be a short box next winter.

Can I fit a 31 gallon or do we have to go with a 25 gallon?

Thanks very much.

I went with a 25 search my name and you can see the route i went. Mines an 87 v10 with a 2" body lift. Its in this section.

The 31 gallon will fit, the 40 gallon won't as it's too tall if I remember correctly. Below is a good one to read as well.

The 25 gal and 31 gal are the same length and width, but the 25 gal is a couple inches shallower. So if ground clearance is a concern, the 25 gal might be the better option.

Thanks! I purchased a stock replacement 25 gallon rear mount. I also purchased the PSI Conversion in tank fuel pump. Really hoping it will fit with minimal issues.

I know this is about wrapped up, but here are the tank dimensions for future reference.

Excellent info. Thanks! That's actually perfect because my fuel pump set up is only good for up to a 10.5" depth.
