Fuel Tank Dimensions - Sedan

Does anyone happen to have a B body sedan fuel tank that they could measure some dimensions?

Overall width, length and depth to the nearest ~1/2" or so?

Thanks in advance...

Nothing too exciting...friend of mine has an 80's G body and wants more than the 17-18 gallons that they hold.

I think there's room to get a B body sedan fuel tank in there, but if someone had some measurements, it might help sway the decision one way or another. B body tank has the in-tank fuel pump, baffling, etc that's necessary for the fuel injection on this car, so from that standpoint it becomes "bolt in" and readily available service parts if necessary.

There's ~38" between the frame and the spare tire well on a G body - subject to body/frame centering variances

The tank on my wagon measures ~39" wide, but the wagon is wider than the sedan. The G Body fuel tank has the filler neck offset to the right of the tank since the tank is offset to the left in the frame/body. There woudl need to be some re-routing of the filler neck, but that shouldn't be too bad to do.

An other option is to remove the spare tire well, cover it with something like this (https://scottrodfab.com/g-body-78-88/127-1095-g-body-spare-tire-cover.html#/1-color-natural), then the b body tank bolts in, centered with the filler neck, etc.
