b2000 gas tank

i got a 1986 B2000 short cab short bed that i bought from an older gentle for cheap. it was sitting since 1992 on his drive way and the gas tank rusted from the inside. now my question is, would a B2000 or b2200 extra cab gas tank fit my shorty b2000, if so i might of found me one. please can anybody give me an answer.

No, they will not fit.

not cool i was expecting to be able to work but o well. anybody got a good tank i can get?

fuel cell ? cheap on ebay look up RCI racing fuel cell

I think what you are asking is dimensionally, will it bolt in. . .and i think it would, with the following limitations.

The extended cab trucks have to use a tank that is not as tall, maybe.

Maybe it is just the shape of the tank or the hole for the pickup / sensor is different.

So you are going to be carrying less fuel . . maybe.

Fuel Tank

There isn't a listing showing for an extended cab as far as capacity. . .

The thing that is interesting to me is that if the vehicles are fuel injected, they all use the same part number.

I was going to upload a really interesting picture to go with this post, but my board "upload quota" has been reached. . . .sorry.

From the picture, it looks like you are going to have to use the fuel pump for the extended cab, if you use an extended cab tank.

It is simple the ext cab tank will not fit the short bed, the short bed tank is much shorter. and not as tall on one end. this is what makes it longer and hold a decent amount of fuel.

actually the short bed standard cab gas tank is short and taller than the x-cab tank. it is pretty much a perfect rectangle while the x-cab tank is longer and odd shaped. half of the tank is short to accomidate fitting under the cab then it grows taller where it fits under the bed area. think if it this way too guys, an x-cab tank wont fit sideways between the frame rails if you tried to relocate it to the rear of the frame but a standard cab tank is too narrow and has to have brackets built so that it fits in.

I got a 17 gallon (tall but skinny) fuel cell and i guarentee its bigger then my stock tank i got a x cab b2200 but im in canada

yeah that's what I meant to say guess it didn't get typed out right
