1978-1985 Bronco 30 Gallon Low Profile Stainless Steel Carbureted Fuel Tank (PF861)
Tired of that belly dragging, diaper of a fuel tank hanging off your full size Bronco rear end?
So were we! Enter our new low profile stainless steel fuel tank with a 30 gallon capacity. Made from 14 gauge brushed stainless steel this low profile tank is exactly what you need to make your offroad excursions less stressful. Say goodbye to the belly dragging stock tank and hello to our new low profile tank which adds almost 2" of added ground clearance and we added an angle to the back side of the tank so when you're showing off your new ProtoFab rear bumper to all your buddies, you won't have the eye sore of that huge stock tank sticking out from down below.
Added bonus, if you decide to upgrade to an EFI system, you don't need to buy a new tank! The center units originally come with fuel pumps that we remove for carbureted tanks. If you decide to do EFI, just put a fuel pump back on the unit and you're good to go!
Gauges
The units we run are an OEM style 1999-2004 Ford F-150 without Supercharger. 78-86 Broncos running a stock gauge would need to order the 10 (Full) - 73 (Empty) sending unit conversion. If you are running programable gauges, please choose the 16-158. So long as your gauges are programmed to match the sending unit range that you order your tank with, they will work cohesively.
