Re: Relocated fuel tank ???????

The rpoblem I see with what you want is it will be a small tank or mounted very low. The filler needs to be higher than the tank for several reasons, filling(gas runs down hill) and to keep gas from dumping out as you take off. With the placement of the lic. plate's on out trucks the top of your tank would need to be about 6" +- below the bottom of the bed and that will leave alot of it exposed below the bumper. Sorry I can't help with a tank or other ideas on installing one because I have never looked into it because of the reasons listed above.
