Genright 19.5 Gallon EXT Stretch Tank Measurement Request

[jjvw]

Genright EXT Gas Tank owners, how deep and wide is the diff cut out?

Can you verify the 14.34" (less than 14 3/8") depth measurement front to back shown in the lower left?

I'd measure mine but my look on things is everything is equal so I'm sure they can't be trusted,

They haven't updated their own drawings with the current models and they don't provide the cut out measurements on either tank, so I'm sure they can't be trusted either.

Tape measures rarely lie.

Well I'm sure my input wouldn't be worth shit. But I have the 23 gallon tank sitting in my garage but it does have the aluminum skid so it might not be the same...

That's a different tank. And I already know that one is 4.5" deep.

What did GR say when you asked them??

This is more fun and kinda the reason for an internet discussion forum.

I'd measure mine, but I sold it a few years ago.

At least you had the tank I'm asking about at one point in time!

At the risk of opening old wounds, I'll quickly mention, without getting too far off topic, that let's not forget about the GR aluminum bumper thread a while back... they don't quite have a perfect track record of advertising their products 100% accurately.

How different do you think the 19.5 & 23 gallon tanks are? Other than 3.5 gallons?

That's why I want outside confirmation.

It's also a reason why, if I go this route, I would get the steel skid. We already know from looking at it the aluminum option can't be 6061 like they claim elsewhere.

A bigger tank is bigger. For this to work the way I need it to, I can't have a tank that is too big. That is why these measurements matter.

Why the EXT instead of the Comp 20 gallon tank?

I'm asking about the 19.5 gallon, not the larger 20 gallon.

And it's an internet discussion forum so I was asking why that tank over the other one. Isn't that how people LEARN? By asking questions?

That isn't at all what you are doing right now. And whatever you are doing right now, you aren't doing very well.

How do you know what I am doing right now?

I don't understand why you would go with the tank with less clearance over the tank with more clearance so I asked. You can READ anything you want to into it. Damn

I asked two very specific questions about a very specific gas tank. I didn't ask about other gas tanks.
