    I have a couple questions concerning the saddle tanks,

    1st off I dont want a fuel cell in the bd. That said here goes:

    I have a 77 Cheyenne Trailering Special 3/4 ton, Are there bigger tanks available?? @10mpg 12 gal tanks dont give much range. Also I heard there was a crossover so that both tanks could be fueld from one side. This turning around is a pain in the butt, especially at a busy station. Also lastly, I notice that when both sides are full, I get about 15mpg, however the catch is when one tank runs down (I switch at 1/4) and I switch the "reserve" tank is now only about 3/4 full.. I cannot find any way they can bleed off of one another. Am I missing something?? Does anyone else notice this? Happens with both sides reguardless which one I use for "reserve".. thanks, Ron

    I show that we have a 16 and 20 gallon tanks available.I believe that they will bolt right in.
