So, it's a 16 gallon midship tank???
Because I've not known a difference in 19 gallon aft tanks, except for the odd extra deep Bronco tank.

(Because Broncos carry their spare on the swing-away)

So short bed and "you think" its a 16 gallon?
Is it at the rear or up front on the side?

See the rear would be 19 gallon front a 16 gallon
What year & motor size will also play into the tanks used.
In tank electric pumps would have a large opening where the non in tank pump would be small.

FYI All short bed trucks with a front / mid ship / side tank would be a 16 gallon.
Only the style side long bed got the 19 gallon front / mid ship / side tank and will NOT fir where a 16 gallon was as I tried.
