No, the needle is stuck in place.

The previous owner didn't specify what tank it was but from the pictures I've seen it looks a lot like a blazer tank. Would it be unrealistic to assume the filler was modified to sit in the bed rather than the usual side filler (considering it's a stepside)? I've done some light research over the past year trying to determine what tank I have but I can't find any instances where someone has less than 19-20 gallon tanks (aside from custom made fuel cells). I don't know enough about these trucks to completely rule out a 12± gallon tank, but like I said before, I've never been brave enough to run it dry and see how much it takes to refill.
