Re: 64-67 Chevelle Gas Tank, will it work??
Well, I really don't like the look of the Blazer tank hanging down. Since I am doing a 5" drop in the back, I also don't like having a little less clearence. This is one reason I thought the Camaro/Chevelle tank was cool, since it is angled and almost disappears, especially with a bumper and being lowered.
The second and maybe more important thing is not having to figure out where to put the filler. Having it behind the license plate (just like my '69 Camaro I used to own) is a major plus. I have seen all the different ways to mount a filler, to use the Blazer tank and didn't care for most of them.
Honestly I am not too concerned about the "safety" of being between the frame rails. It's about a 1 in a million shot the right conditions would happen to cause it to explode. Heck, my Jeep Cherokee has it at the back so if I was rear ended, it should blow me up. Not. So many of these are out there and you don't hear this happening. It actually takes a lot to cause gas to burn in liquid form. Vapors are the biggest problem.
Humm.... still thinking....
