I bought a new tank on ebay for $98 shipped. It was basically a plug and play. I used all the 86 TC's existing parts such as;tank straps, fuel pump, fuel level unit, plastic tank guard, and even the filler tank seal. The straps were a little harder to bolt up because the tank was bigger, but not hard enough to discourage install.

Hope this helps someone who wants to go to a bigger newer tank. Pretty simple, and took me about an hour with basic garage tools like two jacks and two jack stands, and a six foot slab of 4x4.

Yeah, that sounds like the one I bought as well a few short months ago. Also came with o-rings and new lock rings. Nice piece, and cheap.

How is it different dimensionally? Deeper? Wider? Does the pump sit all the way down? You think the gauge will be accurate?

Side note - did you get that payment I sent you a couple days ago?

Not sure, I just know its 22 gallons and the 86 is 18 gallons. I think its taller.

Does anyone have a fuel level units to compare?
