OK. 23.5 gallons. That is a big difference of three gallons more.
The gas jug the guy had was a Wedco, not the Blitz style copy of the US GI can or the WWII German-inspired NATO 20L jerry can.
I've had a few, and it looked pretty full. Not sure if he had the proper caps on both ends, so some may have sloshed out on the way.
I guess it was close enough for gov't work, so I didn't get boned,,, Much. For an emergency I did OK.
Thanks, guys. I was under the impression the Blazer belly tank held less than the Behind-the-Seat tank. I've crammed 22.5 into the one in my '68 C/10 Stepside, although the manual states 20 gallons.

Also I've never seen a Factory-optioned [RPO L25] 292 L6 in a Blazer/Jimmy. I see it was an option, but apparently a very rare one.
