IF anyone has sucessfully installed a bronco2 tank in the back of a Supercab ranger I haven't heard of it.
I frankly don't believe it's practical.
I would use the word "possible" Except I've seen a rolls-royce Merlin Aircraft engine installed into a '57chevy race car, so "possible" is a bit different....
THE issues are:
1)fuel filler pipe location,the bronco2 tanks filler neck is too far forward.
2)The bronco2 tank sticks up above the frame and interferes
with the underside of the bed.
3)The bronco2 tank has a MAJOR interference issue with the drivers
side upper shock mount.
Though to be more precise the frame crossmember that the tank hangs from
interferes wiht the shock mount.
I have dual tanks* in my '87 Ranger supercab
But L O N G before I installed the second tank behind the axle I retrofitted the plastic tank from a 1993 supercab.
Your '89 has a 17gallon tank, the later tank can hold 23 and change,
if you make some artistic modifications to the vent system.
a behind the axle tank? The tank I used is one from a 1991 F350.
It's also plastic and holds 19gallons. (actually almost 21 "Topped up")
I have ANOTHER tank mounted in the bed but that's another story...
I only have a 4.0 but I drive to Wyoming a couple times a year.
