Why buy new when you can restore?

Filled it up. My tank is only 25gal (sometimes I wish it were bigger), but I only put in 17gal and came out to 16.4mpg. Not bad since I was really pissed off and did a few WOT runs onto the interstate to 70mph.

Gary, where is the tank on the Burb? I know your 3/4ton and a 454, but the frame is still the same length as my truck (I think). So why in that case did the ECLB trucks get a 35gal while you're sitting on 42 on a shorter frame?

It's where the spare tire would normally be on a truck,between the frame rails behind the rear axle.That's why the spare tire is inside in the back.Replacing the fuel pump is a royal pain,ask me how I know :jester:

That explains it. I couldn't put a tank like that in mine if I wanted too. My exhaust would be in the way (it is already 1/2" away from the spare and the shock).


Just been driving it.....all week long.....and putting on quite a few miles, but its all been highway so my MPG should be pretty good. :fingersx: The truck just got dive-bombed by bird shit either last night or this morning. There's like 4 spots on the ext cab on the pass. side. :facepalm:

Took it to a ham buddy's shop and replaced the hydroboost (leaking worse than Daddy without his Depends) and put on new front brake pads.

The hydroboost was a mother fwonker to change. Had to take half the dash out, most of my radio equipment, and the accelerator pedal, just to get to the damn bolts.
