    Blazer tank

    I'm looking to put a rear gas tank in my waggy. I'd like to use either an rear F150 or blazer tank. Was just at the local picknpull yesterday and there is a plethora of blazer tanks. I know these tanks are popular for the EFI swap guys but anyone use one with a stock carb and know if a compatible sending unit?

    Never used one but I'd suspect if it came off an EFI vehicle and has an in-tank pump you'll need a pressure regulator or swap to a different pump. You'll have to dig up the fuel gauge specs from the donor vehicle. Your 89 FSJ gauge requires a sender that reads high ohms full (88) and low ohms empty (0).

      Matt,
      Before I swapped my 6.0 in I had a 401 and used the blazer tank. I made my own jeep sending unit. In fact I still have it and can give it to you at URE.

      I used the stock mechanical pump.

        That would be awesome. Just let me know how much you want and I'll have it available. I'm looking forward to seeing that 6.0 swap

                Don't know if you saw this but this is how I did mine

                did it for a couple of reasons.... 1. capacity/range 2. Baffled tank, running EFI with an in tank pump, baffles are better! fuel gauge sender: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cin-sn39/overview/ 32 gallon tank designed for a 91 full size blazer, picks kind of tell all and yes, those are hockey pucks used for spacers...
