Hey Scotty, i got a 1987 ford f 250 with a dual tank system. only the rear tank works at the moment and i plan replacing both fuel sender units for the gas tanks. the only problem is when i wend to the auto part place, there is like 2 different capacity choices for both tanks, i also went to ford to ask but they didnt know the answer as well since i guess the truck is to old to hold information on it. and i been circling the forums for answers but everyone has different and conflicting answers. Is there a way to figure out tank capacity without having to pull the sender unit out to get a part number, that is if its still there haha.
Siphon all the gas out. Then go fill it up at the gas station. Read what the pump says.
The 19 gallon tank measures 58 7/8 x 12 1/4 x 12 1/2. The 38 gallon tank measures 27 x 34 1/4 x 13 3/4. Hope this helps.
Thanks i will go measure when it gets bright outside thankyou, i feel like i am getting somewhere now {black}:smile:
Yeah get your VIN number and call a Ford dealer they can look it up
Sadly, i called the dealership and the only information that they can pull up is Where it was produced, what the motor size is and that its a 4wd. i guess i am gonna have to take it out and hopefully find a part number. Thanks!
All the major suppliers carry fuel sending units but you didn't specify gasoline or diesel.
it is gasoline. i dont think ford has ever made a 5.0 diesel motor. the problem i am running into is that all the major suppliers has 2 to 3 different option for each tank depending on the capacity of the tank. i just didnt want to play part roulette
