F250 Gas Tank Replacement help
I use my Ranger as my DD, but I have a 95 F250 that I use just for plowing my driveway, it serves it's purpose. It is a single cab, 8 ft bed, 4wd, 5.8L. I bought it a couple years ago for a few hundred bucks, replaced all the brake lines, battery, fuel filter and was good to go.
This winter I threw some gas in, she started right up and was running fine, but I realized the gas tank is leaking like crazy. Not a hose or line, but the tank itself is so rusted its leaking. I tried using the rear tank (the seller told me he never used it) and the truck sputtered and the engine died. After I put gas in the rear tank, it is leaking also threw the tank itself.
So, I need some new fuel tanks. Im at least going to replace the front one. I found this website:
http://www.discountfuelsystems.com/s...universal:0%29
But I do not know which tank to get. Can anyone help me as to which tank? there are side mount, rear mount, and 16 gal and 19 gal. Also do I need to buy new straps or anything else when I do the replacement? I'm assuming I'll have to cut some bolts to get the tank down.
Thanks for your help!
