Ive been doing a bit of research and I think the efi tanks are from 95-07 and 08-2010.. If thats the case. I guess my main concern is , will I be able to use a fuel pump assembly from the 07-older models and not have electrical problems.

when I replaced the tank on my 07 train, they looked the same as yours do. However the new one I ordered from Zanotti's came with an adapter for the float. I dont still have the instructions for it but I would almost guarantee that if you called Zanotti's, they would be able to tell you what it is.

One thing I will say, there is a little black ground wire that your have to drill a hole for on the fuel pump chassis. This wire is just short enough to be a complete pain in the ***. I dont know how many times I almost had it all back together and then the wire would come loose. So either be patient and keep at it (as I did) or contemplate replacing it with a longer one.

If you have any more questions about the part, PM me and I'll see what I can figure out. Best of luck.

Ok.............................Take your original tank and bust the welds for the brackets from underneath with a Dremel. Remove the bracket. Bust the welds off the new tank from inside the tank. Tack weld the original bracket into the new tank. Wet the bottom by packing a wet rag under the tank to take the heat of the spot welds. It doesn't take much to hold the bracket in there.

I ran into the same issue. After my wreck. I was tapped out and had to come up with a way to make do with what I had on hand. Any other fix was going to cost several hundred dollars. It would have been nice to have done this before the tank was painted. But I had not torn the original tank down untill I was ready to mount the new one.
