Anyone know what it is? What I found only goes back to '88 and says 15.2 for a reg cab short bed 2wd, can anyone confirm that?

Wow, that small? I know the BII's I have had were 22+ gal. I believe the same on both gen 1 and gen 2. I know I had filled them take just a fraction over 22 when really low.
I just pulled out the shop manual for 87 ranger/BII and it states
Ranger:
Midship - SWB 15.2 Gallons
Midship - LWB 17.0 Gallons
Aft of Rear Axle 13.0 Gallons
I assume SWB is Short Wheel Base and LWB is Long Wheel Base so what ZMan said is right on the money!
By comparison
Bronco II
Aft of Rear Axle 23.0 Gallons
Wow I wouldn't have imagined that much difference between Ranger and BII.
Anyways that is the definitive info in the shop manual I have.
Yep, right on about swb and lwb definitions. As for a BII having a considerably larger tank, yeah I believe it. Remember, the spare tire is on the back of the truck, so there's lots of room for a big gas tank underneath.
Anyone know if a replacement or a 'rebuild' kit is available for the fuel sending unit for the 1st gen Rangers? Seven years ago when I had my Ranger I could not come up with a source, no auto parts stores carry such things('88 or newer only), and discontinued by Ford. Really a PITA for a working gas gauge, found some custom shop that rebuilds them. Mine gave up because of ethanol in the fuels...
Shouldn't it be the same then for the 2nd or dual tank setup in a ranger then? When you have the 2nd fuel tank behind the rear axle on a ranger the spare tire gets re-located to the truck bed. But yes, the LWB dual tank rangers were 17gal front and 13gal rear. I miss that option when I had my 84 Ranger.
