What size bolt do we need for our gas tank?
We had to buy a new fuel pump for our '98 Silverado truck. We got that on fine but they lost the bolt or screw that is the 'grounding' screw for the gas tank. We have no idea of the size or whatever and we can't put the tank back on til we either find it or get another. Any help would be sooo appreciated, more than you know!
Is this a good question?

This information appears to be pretty hard to come by...I even doubt a manual would have the specifics. I have two suggestions though, see if another tank bolt is the same (or same looking?) and see if it works in that hole. If it does, take the bolt to an auto store and they can identify the thread type so you can buy more. Alternatively, a dealership may be able to identify the screw type if their nice...push comes to shove you end up buying a ridiculously over priced bolt ($2-$3?) but at least your truck is up and chugging!
