Larger gas tank for an Explorer

[aldive]

I had found a source of a 30 gallon tank for my '99 but they discontinued it, Does anyone know of a source of larger gas tanks?

Thanks.....

If you get your Ex back up to 30 mpg, and put in a 30 gallon tank, you'll be getting almost 1000 miles per tank. Doesn't that seem like overkill to you?

I beleive the Bronco II uses a larger fuel tank than explorers do. But you'll run into problems with the fuel level sender and fuel pump because your '99 doesn't have a return line.

No, I make long road trips of about 1k miles.

'94 will likely work. Or you could add the bronco II tank as a secondary (but you wouldn't have room for your spare). I beleive Cory L. is doing something like this.

I am looking for an aftermarket replacement tank, I do not want to adapt one from another model.
