Fuel Tank Relocation (and new Rear Bumper design)
How am I just seeing this??
BruceTS F150 Tank Swap the missing link for a flat belly... (good stuff from Assburns tank conversion starts here) EDIT - Tank Mounts can be ordered here. EDIT - skip to the install procedure for the Tank Mounts here. EDIT - bumper stuff pretty much starts here https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...160a6d451.jpeg |
Fuel Tank Relocation
Hey, way to steal my thunder! [emoji1589][emoji23]
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2514ad3c3f.jpg There's been a few guys- that I know of- do the swap, and I think it's amazing. Stock tank is 18.5 gal, F150 aux tank is 19 gal. Eliminate driver lean, room for a non-binding 4-link, flat belly... I could go on [emoji1360] My buddy just did the tank on his 3rd gen- https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9d6ab0a77f.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...69018c012e.jpg Yup; it's under there! Out of everyone here, I can't believe @AssBurns hasn't done the swap yet. If you google "F150 tank 3rd gen 4Runner", you'll find a write up from a gentleman on here who used the factory Toyota sender and pump. Way more work than I'm going to do for my swap, that's for sure. |
I've wondered about this conversion.
My question is: Does it change the over-all balance of the truck having all that weight behind the rear axle? The stock fuel tank is neatly between (although not centered) the front and rear axles. Any ideas? |

@Tyler James Inc
it's definitely on my list of things to do. I was thinking of just doing a fuel cell though. Haven't put too much thought into the pros and cons of either one. Maybe I should just replace my busted tank with one of these. Now I'll be spending more time and money, thanks... [emoji1589][emoji1589]
Thanks for the bump in the idea though |

here you go!
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-ge...0-4runner.html @Tyler James Inc You realize that if you swap tanks you can use OEM parts right? It will ruin the whole theme of your build. [emoji23] Also, did I really see you say something is way more work that you want to do? Doesn't sound like something you would say. |
Doesn't the ford tank hang down quite a bit in the spare tire location without a body lift? That's always been my concern with doing the swap...

Based off of Rockauto. This is the part #FTK010001 and some measurements 34 3/4x27x7 7/8. I may have to trim my bumper a little to fit. I think I only have about 26" between my bumper and crossmember.
1997 FORD F-150 4.6L V8 Fuel Tank | RockAuto PLATINUM PRO FTK010001 Platinum Pro Info One of our most popular parts 19 gallon, behind rear axle, 18G steel, tank only, 34 3/4x27x7 7/8, w/lock ring kit |

From an F100? What are the measurements? Is the filler hole in a good location?

Hey, I try to keep things as simple as possible, without feeling like I'm cheating out. I love OEM parts whenever it's not a bunch more work, but I have not one single qualm about using the Ford sender and pump! [emoji1619] Quote:
