just a silly question

im almost positive i read somewhere a long tiome ago that this wouldnt work but. im just gonna make sure.  im thinking of putting a bigger gas tank in my stang . you think one from a 86 bird or cougar or bird would fit and work with out major modifications? im really hateing this 13 or 14 gallon tank..

you only have a 13 gallon tank? I have a 21 gallon tank in mine (88 5.0 bird)

really they make fule cells for stock locations.  cool beans. thanks guys i knew it wouldnt work but just had to check.

seek: yours may be larger depending on what year it may just be that ur float in ur tank may be aged and heavy making ur system apear lower than it is i know when mine was on E in the cougar it would fill up to like 15 gall. then when the fule pump whent and put it to E i saw how much fule was in and was shocked ever since then i knew i could go past E.  i found out the hard way in the mustang how far and long i could run on E by running out of gaz in front of my buddies house trying to jump his car lol.

thanks again

hell, y'all think that's bad, try a 1992 F-150, with a gas-gulpin' 302, I have 2 19 gallon tanks, and the front one just lost a pump, and the back one leaks, oh yeah, driveshaft just exited the  thing last week, now I get ta fix all that's wrong-rebuild engine, new O2's, IAC-etc. new transmission, new driveshaft with BETTER u-joints, and new fuel punmp and a new back tank out of a Bronco-read 32 gallons!
