Detailed Product Description

The Dorman 576-301 fuel tank is engineered to replace original equipment fuel tanks on select Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Its steel construction ensures structural integrity and resistance to impact, while the paint coating helps protect against rust and corrosion over time. The tank’s 16-gallon capacity is suitable for daily driving and work applications, providing ample fuel storage without compromising vehicle space. With precise dimensions of 42.875 inches in length, 14.13 inches in width, and 11 inches in height, this fuel tank is designed for a direct fit on compatible models.

This fuel tank includes a lock ring and O-ring to ensure a secure seal between the tank and fuel sending unit, although the sending unit itself is not included. The absence of a filler neck and mounting straps means these components must be reused from the original tank or sourced separately. The gray painted finish offers a clean appearance and added protection against environmental elements.
