Re: Fuel Tank
I found this info here...
Dynomutt, here is the info. About 5-6 inches. Not lower than the diff. I bought mine used for $80 with the Mallory fuel pump and 18ft of S/S braided hose, what a deal! You can pick one up from Summit Racing. It's a 16 gallon, for about $153.00. Here is the part number SUM-290108. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku |

Re: Fuel Tank
Looks like my pic was used! Here are some pics of how I am putting the fuel in.
I had the muffler shop weld in a 2.25 inch pipe. I measured to the center of the fuel cell filler hole. Had the muffler shop bend a 45 to clear the sending unit. Lowered my tank down a little with spacers in the back to give it more room. Cut the crossmember to run the pipe. It comes out about 7-8 inches behind the rear wheel well in the bed and about 5-6 inches away from the side.

Re: Fuel Tank
It is a tank from summit racing 16 gallon. I am using a 45 degree filler neck, it is going to be close to the side so it won't get in the way, too bad. As you can see in the second pic, the placement of the filler neck can be where you want it just by cutting the pipe length. Just bend it at a 90 or use rubber to go through the bed floor.

Re: Fuel Tank
I will be using a 90 degree hose to a fuel filler neck, probably the 8 inch JAZ Products neck. I like the look of them.

Re: Fuel Tank
It is actually right on the bottom of the bed floor right where the hose is and I wrapped some camper seal tape around it to keep it from rattling. I will make a bracket to hold it up, but it has to be removeable incase the bed needs to come off at a later time for some reason.
