Hey,

Anyone know what the tank holds- Diesel model truck, tank behind the rear axle. Im going to try to shoehorn it into a different truck. Thanks

On my 96 the front tank is 22 and the rear is 18. Don't know if the 92 is the same or not.

I do believe that the rear tank is 30 or 32 gallons on the pre-96 chassis cabs.

Hi , Its about 26x26 in and 13 inches deep. Must be at least 30 gal

I was about ready to type in im away from my literature, so IDK, but I remembered that I bought a 1991 GMC Commercial truck brouchure on e-bay and had it sent here to the college address.

So, I opened to the Sierra section, and for both the straight rail 3500s, or the C3500HDs, it said 23 gallons standard (Which I am sure is fore of axle) and 31 gallons optional (which i am sure is the aft of axle location)

so i was close at 30 or 32!

so theres your answer, 31 gallons, good luck mounting!

Cool, I have to pump it out first- darn thing is full. And the tank I pulled out of my 86 CUCV today is also full. About 50 gallons of diesel I need to store in something. Trying to cram this tank in the back of the K30 cucv.

Sounds like someone is in dire need of a clean empty 55 gallon drum!

I take it you want to put the chassis cab tank in the CUCV? If so, how big is the CUCV tank you are removing?

Specs say 20 gal for a 83-86 M1008,1028 truck
