1995 B3000 Fuel Tank

[brew92]

I have a 1995 B3000 Cab Plus that is in need of a new fuel tank. This has been impossible to find. Will a ranger tank fit? Please help!

Yes, any supercab from 1990 or 1991 through... atleast 1996 is a direct
replacement.

BTW, what exactly did you do to your tank?

B3000 Fuel tank

The tank has a hairline crack in the front top. I actually found that this is a 1994 B3000 not a 1995 as previously posted, and was told this is a one year only fitment? I have called several auto salvage yards but they have told me the Hollander Interchange book does not show the ford tank will work for this particular year. I guess if I can't find one I will try plastic welding this one.

My '94 Ranger super cab gas tank did the same thing- a hairline crack, or split, all by itself, on the upper front of the tank. I repaired mine with regular 5-minute epoxy, and two years later it's still holding fine.

If you're going to try and repair yours, brew92, I think the most important thing is prepping the area before you apply the epoxy or plastic weld. I drilled tiny holes at the ends and along the crack, and then roughed up both sides with 60 grit sandpaper. Drop the tank, pull the fuel pump and work the inside through the hole. Then just clean it out real good before reinstalling (use a big towel inside during the surface prep, too, to catch the dust when sanding).
