Looks more like a base model: Ford F-150 XL. Comments? |

Dual gas tank/filler doors. Ford doesn't offer dual tanks anymore. Why? Did other brands offer dual tanks? |

My honest opinion would be advancements in vehicle design, fuel tank design and engine fuel economy. Today, one fuel tank can almost accommodate the same amount of fuel of two tanks. Chevrolet and GMC offered two tanks on their 1973-1987 model third generation "rounded line" pickups. The tanks were mounted on both the left and right sides (with accompanying left and right side fuel doors) outside the frame rails, which became known as sidesaddle tanks. Long wheelbase pickups were available with 20 gallon tanks totaling to a capacity of 40 gallons (151 liters) This gave an extended cruising range on highway and allowed the trucks to stay off road longer. Later in 1993 (after the 1973-1987 trucks had long ended production) NBC claimed the 1973-1987 GM pickups with sidesaddle tanks were deadly as the tanks could rupture and catch fire during a side impact collision. NBC did a test to prove their claim, but it was later found that NBC’s test was fraudulent. General Motors sued NBC and NBC publicly apologized to GM. Several NBC staff were fired as a result. I actually posted this in the forum not long ago: Link to "forum.imcdb.org" |

My 1994 F-150 has dual fuel tanks, one can hold 15 gallons and the other 15 1/2. But most of the time I only fill one tank up completely due to monetary issues. |
