Fuel tank size for extra cab?
1992 22re 4wd extra cab. Pretty sure i have a 19 gallon fuel tank? Mine just started leaking... I did search and i'm almost sure thats what i have, but i want to double check. Anything else i should replace while i'm in there? Straps? Gaskets? And where have some of you guys got tanks from at a good price? thanks.

For the 19 gallon tanks (think actually 18.8 or so), you can only get those from the dealer.
There are 17 gallon tanks that you can buy aftermarket... For 2wd trucks I think, but should mount right up.
Neck filler will likely be dealer only as well...

yes a 17 gallon tank can be swap for a 19 gallon tank. The mounting dimensions are the same. The vertical height of the tank is the difference in the capacity. I would take the time to inspect the fuel lines while you are there and replace whatever is necessary. it is also a good time to clean, inspect and protect the part of your frame that the fuel tank hides.

I believe so, but I am not certain. I believe the pumps are the same and the fuel sending unit brackets are the difference between the 2 tank sizes. Double check before you order!!! When you pull the bed off. Measure everything on the tank, width, length, height bolt spacing, etc etc. get as much info as you can before you order.
another thought. There are some places around my hometown that refurbish gas tanks. Maybe call up a similar place near you and check on pricing. If you get it refurbished you wouldn't have to worry about if it fits or not..... Just a thought, Do your homework then triple check everything before you lay the money down...

hey, thanks a lot bone collector. The only thing is i don't really have time to take my bed off, measure and order. I take my truck to school during the week and come home on the weekends, so i need to order stuff for next weekend or the weekend after to change it when i come home. Might just get a 19 to be certain so i don't run into problems.

Just trying to help. One more tip. Spray the mounting bolts everyday with some pb blaster, wd 40 or the like. I have played the bolts on fuel tanks several times and the are ALWAYS rusted or corroded. Spray them thoroughly everyday till you change the tank. I wish you the best of luck

Just did the one in my 94 reg cab. if swapping tanks just go out through the bottom, my mechanic took bed off to do fuel pump and play with sending unit prior but to swap the tank he just went from undernieth.

Replace your fuel pump while you're in there. It's Denso, so any of the Denso USA sites will sell you it in a kit w/ a new prefilter for ~$125. Sure beats it failing and having to pull everything again... A lot of folks on here are having trouble with fuel pumps as of late...

Did some searching and according to ToyoDIY.com lookup by VIN, the part # I need for the 19 gallon is: 77001-359A7
Here for $397 plus S&H: http://www.toyotapartsoverstock.com/...7001359A7.html
There's also this 19 gallon tank listed that's a cold spec tank (have no idea what that means) and for the 15" tires for $463 + s&h:
http://www.toyotapartsoverstock.com/...700135999.html
Searching other sites by VIN prefix (should fit our trucks by that but PNs don't match), here's a 19 gallon for $96 + s&h:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-89-90-91-92-93-94-95-TOYOTA-PICKUP-TRUCK-WITH-FUEL-INJ-GAS-FUEL-TANK-TO7D-/380706752443?_trksid=p2054897.l4275Best route and best price including shipping (some below charge $125 just for shipping, others are free but still more expensive...)
And other searches show's 19 gallons that should fit, but no part #s match:
$250
http://www.carid.com/1993-toyota-pic...k-9869834.html
$225
http://www.carpartsshed.com/Catalog/...sku=LKQTNKTO7D
$250
http://www.1aauto.com/1A/fuel-tanks/...FSlo7Aoda38AHA
Hope this helps. Let us know what route you go and whether it fits... Looks like these should, but who knows w/ aftermarket parts...

Off topic, but also found it interesting that Toyota offers a high ethanol Brazil and Ireland tank for our trucks as well: http://www.toyotapartsoverstock.com/...700135981.html
Wonder what the difference is at the tank level... Know plastics and ethanol don't mix, but maybe more rust protection on account of the water that ethanol likes to collect?

RSR, thanks for all the links man! i appreciate it. But i have good news, my dad's friend has a tank from an extra cab that he is giving me. My dad picked it up last night, so i'm assuming it's in decent shape. And thats a good idea on the fuel pump. My buddy has a fuel pump he bought for his regular cab that i may get off him, since i should just replace it while i'm in there.
Oh, and i can get a spectra tank (i believe) thats 19 gallon for my truck off rockauto for under $200 shipped. That's the cheapest i found.
