c.r. 06-22-2005, 08:37 PM Anyone add a second fuel tank to there truck? Any problems? Where did you go for the parts,etc. Thinking real hard about adding an second tank while I have the rear of truck bare. (84 cucv M1010, no more ambulance box,6.2l,th400,60/14ff) mangus580 06-22-2005, 09:10 PM What year truck? c.r. 06-22-2005, 09:40 PM 1984 CUCV, m1010 w/ 20 gallon tank, drivers side. mangus580 06-22-2005, 09:42 PM that makes it really easy then... as Chevy commonly used dual tanks on these trucks... my old civvy has the stuff in it. I have the tank, and the selector switch, and the mounts. Where are you located? cougarjohn 06-23-2005, 01:33 AM In our 1986 Chev C30 DRW I have a 33 gal tank from a 84 Chev G20 van in place of the rear tire and I have a 20 gal. tank on the passenger side. I have a 6.2L so I use the passenger side for gasoline for our generator. With our heavy camper mounted we can go about 700 miles on the 53 gal of diesel. c.r. 06-23-2005, 07:42 AM I am located just south of Raleigh ,N.C. mangus580 06-23-2005, 08:06 AM Hmmm I dont think I could feasibly ship a used gas tank from NY.... but I could the rest of the stuff, leaving you with only having to buy a tank. Does anyone know if the plumbing was different for a gas vs a diesel? D.Camilleri 06-23-2005, 04:48 PM Tanks are the same, just different sending units. Too bad, I through a couple away last year.:( cougarjohn 06-23-2005, 08:18 PM My 1986 C30 use to be a gasser and the tank sending unit works fine with diesel. Same thing when I had the 6.2L in my 1970 Chev C20. The sending unit is just a wire wound coil with a wiper on it to read the resistance. mangus580 06-23-2005, 09:14 PM might be some different fittings for the diesel fuel lines... | ||
