In Reply to: Replacement gas tank? posted by Dave Pratt on Saturday, February 24, 2001 at 8:49PM :
The gas tank on my PW was remounted from under the bed to inside the bed (exposed sitting at window level on top of a water tank). Unfortunately to do this the previous owner had to lop off the original filler tube, seal up the hole, and install a new one on the top. I am removing this one (the water tanks's coming off also) and using an old side-mount 40 gallon gas tank from an old Ford truck and mounting it horizontal in the front of the bed with a storage compartment (welder/generator soon) over top. The tank is about 40"X17"X12" (does this sound like a 40 gallon tank?). I still need to test out the gas guage compatability and figure out how to make the connectors/filler tubes to have the fill spout at the side of the bed. I also want to make a recessed gas cap/fill input area with a locking door, similar to the newer trucks to prevent fuel theft. Thanks!
