fuel tank upgrade - M1009

[rsh4364]

Has anyone switched factory tank(25 gal.) to a spectra 31 gallon tank,I know I will need the longer straps, but will the tank skid plate still fit? Fact. tank is 10.75 deep and 31 gal. is 12.75 deep..

Your talking about a 1009? If so I changed mine to a 31gal. You need straps, sending unit, and tank. The skid plate fits just perfectly. Mine had rust in it so I upgraded
Good luck.

No sorry. Just looked up 84 k5. And found it. I think from summit.

Are the sending units tank capacity specific?,or can I use my stock one? or do I need to lower the pick-up? Thanks for the advice also..

From what I found they have to be made to the size of tank. For pick up and the fuel gauge.
