fuel tank capacity

[USN78W150]

I would like to know the fuel capacity of the factory optional auxiliary tank that mounts behind the rear axle on a '77 W200. I do not have a shop manual to reference specs from. I know the frame mounted main tank is 20 gallons. Thanks in advance.

I would have thought your front tank is 30 gal. and I'm sure your aux. tank is 20 gal.

On the '77 the main tank is 20 gallons, the optional tank was 23 gallons.

Sales code HL4... 24 gallon capacity... mounted inside cab behind seat. For use on 8' Conventional or Crew Cab Sweptline pickup models. Not available with hinged-back bench seat.



I'm assuming you have a Club Cab and were inquiring about the optional 21 gallon tank. If you have a broadcast sheet or a fender/core support tag, you may see the HL9 sales code on there.

Thanks Kevin for posting that. I have a 78 W200 club cab long bed & I figured mine was a 20gal from the owners manual. I didn't know in-cab tanks were still around then.

Thanks to all for the information. I have recently purchased a former USAF '77 W200 M885 pickup. It has factory dual tanks, and factory additional 4 leaf rear helper spring pack. I have never seen the optional 4 leaf auxiliary spring option on a 3/4 ton truck, and believe it was only officially available as an option on the one ton models. I have seen the single leaf auxiliary spring option on some 3/4 ton trucks, but not on the M series. My main springs are the correct for 8,000 GVW 6 leaf spring.

Here are seven pages of M880 info for you if you haven't seen them already.
