Had my Galaxie on the lift last night...

My DAMN FUEL TANK is out of a Mustang/Comet/Fairlane....


I didn't notice it until I put it in the air, but I only got a 14 or 16 gallon tank and it's the WRONG one for my galaxie...

I am so pizzed

Now it' sgoing to take me 6 fill-ups to get 900 miles instead of 4!

Yes, but your fillups will be so much cheaper!!!

wine --wine --bitch and moan- grap about this and that-- gees -- some one lick the red off you lolly pop this morn??--
its ok FE -- stop --pee- get gas--gripe about cost of gas--go on way--

btw--have a safe trip-

I have the same problem only it was Ford that did it! All '92+ Grand Marquis' have 20gal tanks but '98+ have charcoal cannisters for emissions so they put longer filler necks in to help prevent overflow. That limits me to 19gal!

Now's your chance to take it out an put in a fuel cell.

GOSH you guy's...

I wasn't bitchin about the price of GAS, only the FREQUENCY that I have to fillup sheesh!

And the fact that I have a FOREIGN object stuck up my ass end :')

Less gas = less weight = more power + better overall mileage.
(6lbs to every gallon I thought)

Now FE, if you read the promos they say "vacation size trunk" They say nothing about vacation size gas tanks. The ol beast might appreciate the more frequent stops. But you are right, it's bad enough to only get 200 miles on the stock tank full.

I managed to get 13mpg loaded down so yours might do better though. Still 18 gallons in a guzzler don't get you far.

At least it's a good tank or I assume it is!

water is 5.8 lbs per gallon Gasoline is lighter..

But I LOVE that concept!

Later Mater's, I'm gonna go home and tidy up the car and get a gas cap and fill the biach up

Wieght of water 1 Gallons [US] = 8.35 lbs per gallon. Weight of gasoline 5.67 lbs/gal.

Weight of gasoline 5.67 lbs/gal.- weight of wallet to by said gallon of gas - a lot lighter
