Gas Tank for Lowered or Bagged Suburbans
 
I've keep getting leaks coming from my tank where I'm apparently scraping it. As of now I have a 87-G20 tank out of a conversion van. I'm running a 5.3 and my fuel pump is in the tank like it was back in 87, of course it's a stronger pump for the 5.3.

Any recommendations on different tanks that will tuck up in there better?

When i was putting my truck together, i was going to have the same problem, and no matter how much i looked, i could never find a gas tank that would work. So i'm building one from scratch. So that or modifying your current one (if you can) is about the only option, sorry i wish there was another option.

1X1 square tube and 1/8 inch plate would do it. The Blazer tank might work for you the smaller gallon one. The EP 381 pump [if that is what you have] would go right in

Yes, that's the pump I'm running.

Thanks, I thought I saw someone on here selling skid plates at one time, but I can't find the post.

I'm with Hugger, I would just make one, or have it made if you don't have the equipment to do it......

Thanks guys, tried to patch the pin point hole and now it's a lot bigger!! Looks like a new tank is the only option. and a skid plate.
