I don't know if it will fit or not but what I can tell you is that it won't work with your level sender so take the cost of a new one into account. That's if the 14 gal sender even works with the fuel level gauge. Not sure on the fuel pickup/fuel pump senders either.

I've been looking at tanks for my 94 (waiting for some cash), the cheapest I have found-w/free shipping-is autopartswarehouse.

They have a 17 gallon for $156 that fits your RN61.

As long as the new tank meets or exceeds the original equipment in regards to evap. lines a fuel tank swap is perfectly legal.
