Default fuel tank swap

i have a 2003 gmc sierra 1500hd crew cab reg box but it only has a 90L tank so its a giant pain in the A$$ so i was wondering if anyone has ever done a swap i was thinking of getting one out of a duramax preferably 120L or if anyone knows of a decent slip tank that goes underneith the truck? and if my fuel pump bucket will fit in the duramax's tank?

well swapping to a duramax tank wont really help because the size of the tank is based off if the truck is a long box or short box the reason is due to the position of the axle. also the internals of the tank in a duramax vs gas will be different there is no pump in the diesel tanks and for that i would question if the mount on the top would be the same. the only solution i could come up with if i was in your position would be a

Titan Fuel Tanks

possibly give them a call and ask if they could make a gas one for you

transfer flow. they are not cheap, but very very well made and worth it. (plus they are not made of plastic) we have had them in our past 2 duramax trucks. gas applications available as well.
