I believe I currently have a 18.5gallon tank. Will a 23 gallon tank from a later e300d fit with out much with regard to modification?

You probably already got your answer from your other "new" forum, but yes a tank from a 500 or '95 E300 will fit physically BUT you will need to make sure you have the fuel tank sender and fuel tank gauge from the donor to keep everything accurate.

I need to find one of those big tanks for my 260E/300E. When i accumulate bonus points from my local grocery store (Giant) I get money off the price of gas. I've been up to $1.70 off per gallon for a single fill up. With a 20 gallon max.

I want to use that max!

They don't like it when I pull a couple of gas cans out of the trunk.

I'm getting over 500 miles per tank but I'd like to get more because I'm lazy. The Vauxhall forum has not been very helpful with my quest.

WTF does that mean??? General Merchandise doesn't even sell that garbage here on their hometurf.

The trunk is designed to securely hold two 20L NATO jerry cans in the side pockets. I take full advantage of the 20cent to $1 off per gal up to 25gal at Safeway and Von's. 1000 miles between fill ups is easy. The station attendant doesn't seem to care if the fuel goes into the tank or trunk.

Jerry can's aren't legal on many of the roads I have to drive and I if I'm going to fill with a jerry can, I might as well stop and get diesel. The tank needs to be cleaned and I figure if I'm in there, why not get me more range so I only have to fill up once a week.

Most things worth doing aren't legal.

Jerry can of diesel are probably OK in most states....However GAS? that may be another story.......as it explodes.

We have no shortage of diesel stations so carrying fuel isn't worth doing. That and we have people to pump our fuel for us so I don't have to get smelly. I don't get any deal for buying more.
