15 gallon if I recall correctly.

I got a new tank that holds 20 gallons sometime back so im pretty sure it was originally a 15 gallon.

where are you finding 20 gallon tanks? I just about bought my tank a few hours ago when I ordered some other parts but figured it could wait.

Tony, I saw one installed in Mustang Monthly within last couple of months. If you don't have the mag I can look for you. I am not sure who sells the tank but it is available. If I did not have a new one I would be getting the larger one. Takes a little trunk space away.

I dont get mustang monthly. This forum is about all the reading that I do. LOL I dont mind losing some trunk space. Means it will be harder for my wife to use it as a storage locker.

Tony, I went back to January and did not see it. I do not think I dreamed it. I know someone here has seen it somewhere. I thought it was in MM but I may have seen it online somewhere. I will keep looking. Don't order yet.
