Every carbed truc that I have ever seen has had seemingly the same tank. Cant speak for fourunners but if you find a truck tank that looks like your old 4runner tank, chances are it is good to go.

Another suggestion...

Maybe it would be a good time to switch to a fuel cell? A plastic fuel cell is less easy to tear/ puncture than a metal one...

Just a suggestion.

Tanks on longbed trucks are larger than shortbed trucks
(17 vs 12 gal I think)

The fill pipe location on a Runner tank is slightly different from a truck tank.

Assuming your truck is EFI, make sure you get an EFI tank. The mounting flange for the fuel pump in the EFI tanks is larger than the carb tanks. A carb tank would have to be modified to accept your in-tank fuel pump. :nuke:

I think I have an 86 tank. Should be the same. You might have to use your pump though. Let me know.

You can't leave a message, or what? I will be going back to work on Thursday so I can bring it then. I will have to think about a special delivered price just for you!
