My 1989 poly tank is leaking on the front side closest to the transfercase and needs to be replaced, no one makes a replacement tank past 1988 metal ones.
1. will the 1988 metal replacement tank work with the 1989 sending unit/pump and will the tank straps work as well?
2. Or will a newer (1999) 20 gallon poly tank fit in the same location as the original factory tank and will the sending/pump from the 1989 work in the newer tank?
I know that the fuel fill tube / vent is separate for the 1999 and will need to be switched, would this effect the smog test? - I'm in California
Thanks,
