Are there any vendors out there that sell a new 20-21 gallon fuel tank for this truck at a reasonable price? What years will fit and also since it is like a Ford Ranger, what years should fit from a Ranger (1993 to 2010 Ranger?)? The area that holds the fuel lines, the ring/retaining device, was completely rotted away and there appears to be no reasonable way to repair it.
I have checked 5 local (Massachusetts) junk yards so far and 2 of them punch a hole in the bottom of the tank to drain it when they come in. These two yards will never have a tank for sale. One claimed they could supply me one in 3-4 days for $115.00. Another one said $50.00 but didn't have a usable one, same problem as mine. The 3rd and last one (25 miles from me) said they probably have one but I would have to come look myself and then they would pull it if it hasn't been pulled already. I might have to go there and still no guarantee that they even have one.
Thanks
 
Thanks, but they only go up to 1988, 17 gallon Ranger tanks. They will not fit my 1996. I called and they confirmed this.
 
I saw where someone did a conversion of different tank that mounted where the spare tire goes... Of course then where do you put your spare tire?
