bronco tank swap question

[kadeninabnitt]

come tax time my truck will be down for a couple weeks to address bad injectors gonna upgrade to 160/100s and was thinking about doing a bronco rear tank and a sump and ditching the factory front tank e fuel will be done during this time as well the question is could a bronco sending unit be used just for fuel gauge use is the harness hookup the same

Why are you going to sump it, and lose a tank to run 160/100's?
I ran 238/100's through the factory selector valve without an issue FWIW

the bronco tank is 34 gal and while its down figured might as well do the sump im not doing it because i think the injectors need it but it will be there if needed in the future

Do this its easier ,and 38 gallons.

mine will be getting the f26e tank before too long and ditching the front tank more then likely.

I wanna mount train horns and such and i need the room.

I'm well aware. I guess my question is, why remove the front tank when installing the bronco rear? If 34 gallons is better, then 54 is mo-bettah.
Only advantage I see in having a single tank is the ability to ditch the selector valve and run bigger lines.
Guess I might be biased, as I'm running around with 160 gallons of fuel capacity.

for me the front tank is in the way of the suspension i want to do. triangulated four link

I also have a 100 gal. tank in the bed. i think 140 gal. is plenty. I understand your reasoning though.

Definitely do the F26E and skip the Bronco tank.
Can't hang spare with the Bronco tank, and no issues with the 38 gallon F26E.

You just modify your sender to work with the new tank.
