--OK I bought my Ranger off the lot and it came with a measly 17
gallon tank. Can anyone tell me if there is a larger tank available and what
all is involved in swapping it out?
--TIA,

Yes. There is a 19.2 or 19.?? gallon tank available on the long wheelbase
models. I assume something in the chassis of the short WB models limit the
size of the tank so a larger one won't fit. It is only about 2 gallons more,
so not much to worry about.

Ok here goes. There are alot of add-on fuel tank kits out there. Keep in
mind your truck can legally only carry 40Gallons. You might be able to find
a kit that will allow you to mount another tank on the pass. side and should
include a fuel pump, tank switching solenoid, in cab switch, and allow you
to run the filler neck out in the pass. rear fender well. keep in mind
space, so you will have to take measurements, and you also dont want to add
too much weight to your truck. Also, the longer fuel sits in the tank, the
more likely it is that it will become "stale" or loose some of the additives
to evaporization. I would search www.jcwhitne.com to get an idea, or
www.jegs.com to get an idea on how much it will cost.
