TRQ Fuel Tank 17 Gal Compatible with 1984-1988 Toyota Pickup - Direct

In this review the TRQ Fuel Tank 17 Gal is evaluated for owners restoring or repairing 1984-1988 Toyota Pickup models who need a direct replacement fuel tank. The bottom line: this tank is aimed at DIY mechanics and professional installers wanting a OEM-style capacity and corrosion-resistant finish, and the single biggest reason to buy is its direct-fit intent and zinc coated construction that closely matches original equipment. The review focuses on fit, construction, and installation experience based on product details and user feedback.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Built to fit 1984-88 Toyota Pickup L4 2.4L carbureted rear wheel drive and 1984-85 2.4L fuel injection diesel rear wheel drive for straightforward replacement.
• Capacity: The 17 gal volume matches common replacement needs so users restore original driving range without custom modifications.
• Corrosion resistance: Zinc coated steel with a powder coated liquid paint finish helps resist rust in typical road conditions.
• Included hardware: The tank ships with gaskets and an O-ring to simplify sealing and reduce the number of extra parts to source.
• Direct fit design: Pre-formed mounting points and OE-style shape are intended to eliminate modification and save installation time when alignment is correct.
• Reference support: Multiple reference numbers (576-211, 77001-35952, TO8A) make cross-checking fitment easier for older pickups.

Who It's For

This fuel tank is best for DIY mechanics, restorers, and repair shops working on vintage Toyota Pickups from 1984 to 1988 that require a 17 gal replacement tank with OEM-like coating and mounting. It suits projects where matching original capacity and finish matters and where buyers can confirm compatibility before purchase.

It is less suitable for buyers who need a sending unit included, mounting straps, filler neck, or a pre-attached sump, as those items are not included. Also, anyone who cannot verify exact vehicle fit with the full compatibility chart or who expects a plug-and-play swap without any trimming or effort should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

• Includes gaskets and an O-ring, reducing the need to purchase minor sealing parts separately.
• Multiple reference numbers simplify verifying correct application for older vehicles.

Cons

• Does not include sending unit, mounting straps, filler neck, or lock ring, so additional parts may be needed.
