The 1987 Subaru GL Wagon uses a specific OEM fuel tank, often interchangeable within the GL/GL10/DL series of that era (like 85-89 models), with common part numbers including variations like 42141GA352 or 42141GA633; you'll find options at Subaru parts dealers and aftermarket sites, but check compatibility for your specific trim (Base, Turbo, 4WD) as tanks vary, often holding around 15.7 gallons, with restoration kits available if the original is rusty.
Key Details:

• OEM Parts: Look for genuine Subaru parts using numbers like 42141GA352, 42141GA353, or 42141GA633.
• Compatibility: Tanks often fit a range, from 1985-1989 Subaru GL, GL10, DL, and RX models, but verify for your exact wagon trim (Base, Turbo, 4WD).
• Capacity: Around 15.7 gallons (60 liters).
• Availability: Check Subaru Parts Deal, West Houston Subaru, OEM Parts Online, or eBay for new or used tanks and caps.
• Aftermarket/Restoration: If your tank is rusty, consider a restoration kit or a new tank from brands like Radiator Express, noting they often come with warranties.

Pro-Tip: When replacing, get new hose clamps for the filler neck to prevent leaks, and be aware you might need to remove the rear wheel and an access panel in the fender well.
