94 XL Gas Tank Relocation

[BogFather]

Ok so after the last run i took the old 94 out on my gas tank dropped. At this point i found out that there was only i gas tank strap holding it up and that everything under there for said straps was pretty well writen off with rust. Anyways when the tank dropped i found out also that the sending unit was WAYYYYYY rusted out and had snapped the tubes on the sending unit. So after searching my brain i have decided to relocate the tank back in the spare tire carrier spot since i dun use it and the carrier is ALSO rusted to crap. Now i have done some searching on here and see that the F150 rear tank will fit in the VOID but i would loose the shock mounts on the inside. I don't wanna have to relocate the shock mounts so i was just wondering if anyone has done this mod and takin any pics or has any kinda suggestions?? I need to get this done ASAP as the winter is coming and i need 4WD...

i was just wondering this myself, i think i read somewhere that a fuel tank out of a bronco will fit in that spot where the spare tire goes but im not sure, i was actually just thinking about just putting one of those fuel cells in the back, but then i would loose storage space,......

Spare tire no problem:

i mounted a rear tire rack off of a 92 jeep cherokee on mine, it works but it defantly took some work but i like it,

Well if Stic-O would get off his arse and get his F150 build started i'd have all the info for mine LMAO. J/K Stic-O if you see this I know you've been busy.......

I've got a bunch of pics of the build of my spare tire rack in my profile album

i think when i get a chance i'm gunna go to the local pullapart junkyard and get one of those bronco II fuel tanks and try to install it on my next days off

 

[BogFather]

Yeah might have to do the same myself. Was also thinking a " Bad Word --->> S10 " tank may work as it is 19gal. But we will see, Stay tuned for the build

I have been thinking of adding a second tank to mine, I heard the BII tanks work but there is some frame mod, and allot of work. But I haven't done one.

 

[BogFather]

Well just got back from getting a S10 Gas Tank, And from the looks of it....IT SHOULD WORK. With mild MODIFICATION that is.....HeHeHe. Should be an interesting build for sure. Will make sure i get pics as the process begins.....HOPEFULLY this weekend coming it starts......

 

[DYward]

are you gunna use the x fuel pump or the s10's?

 

[BogFather]

Probably the X but we will see

 

[DYward]

well i got a tank today, off of a 91 econoline clubwagon due to the fact that all the BII 's had theres cut open, they suposably cut all the tanks open to drain the gas, but i came across that econoline, uncut, full tank of gas, its relitively the same as the bronco's gas tank, size shape it will fit nicely

A bronco 2 fuel tank will fit in place of the spare carrier. I finished the install on my '94 this fall. I got a tank,sender,straps the skid plate , and thefiller neck for $60.00. I removed the spare carrier and the plate it was bolted to.Did not have to relocate the shocks , and it does not hit the floor. I did have to make mounts for the straps at the front, and mounts for the rear skid plate mount. I am running this as a dual tank set up. The bronco 2 filler neck vents different than the explorer in that the Explorer has an external vent , and the bronco 2 is internal. I have some pictures on photobucket , and should be linked to my signature.

well after reading this thread I decided to start collecting parts and install a second tank I've been thinking of it for awhile its time to Um... defficate ofr get off the pot I'll let you know how it goes. Looking at a march completion date.

Well i planned on getting at the tank this weekend but mother nature said NO F%*&in WAY and DUMPED over a foot of snow on us LMAO. But hopefully have it done before the end of winter as the poor 94 is sittin collectin snow and i wanna get some good snow runs in with her

 

[fordnut71]

id like to see a "how too" on this an how the fuel lines are connected an switchable from 1 tank to the other.

 

[BogFather]

Well if the dang snow would give it a rest then i might be able to get started on this little project, and get some pics and do a write-up. But Snow, Low Temp, & NO Garage to work in right now have slowed it all to a hault...
