huge burb tank into a blazer

[blazinzuk]

So anyone done this? Only reason for doing this is my new/old blazer is going to be fuel injected. No tank. Would like to use a factory tank. I happen to have a burb tank from 90 (still in the truck)

This blazer is going to be a mild wheeler. Like 37s and a rear locker. Thats about as extreme as its going to be I don't mind relocating things either

You really can't put the 42 gallon tank in a Blazer because it is too long. It will either get hit by the rear differential or hang out behind the rear bumper.

Hmmm that sucks. do you per chance happen to know the length difference?

The LMC catalog answers all

40 gallon is 28.75 x 35 x 13.125
31 gallon is 28.75 x 28.125 x 12.75
25 gallon is 28.75 x 28.125 x 10.75

So the biggun is a smidge (~3/8) deeper and about 7" longer.
