Re: fuel tank ???

The burb tank might be bigger. Sending units should be the same. Blazer is 350 TBI fuel injection? In tank fuel pump in the Burb for TBI. If yours is carb, then it may be different. Tanks in Blazer are probably 25 gal. Burb is 30 gal. Mine is anyways.

If you can make the clearance then the burb tank should fit. Might have to adapt the tank straps.

Re: fuel tank ???

The Blazer and Suburban shared a 31 Gallon tank whereas the Suburban used a 40 something gallon tank. I believe 87-91 is all the same on the tank because of the fuel injectio "baffles".

Re: fuel tank ???

IIRC, the difference in the smaller tanks and the 40 gallon is in height. So if you have the correct straps, it should work. I think most burbs had 40 gallon tanks.

Re: fuel tank ???

The 40 gallon tanks are the same depth as the 32 gallon tanks, same width as well, just longer than the smaller tanks.

Re: fuel tank ???

thanks guys.the 25 gallon tank and the 31 gallon tanks are the same width and length just a difference in depth.I masured out for thr 40 gallon unit but it would be way to tight in the back of a blazer.
