Passenger Side Tank Filler
Hello fellow wrenchers,
I will be installing a side fill rear tank conversion kit this spring (possibly from LMC). I have to convert the truck to gas because the PO had it on propane. Has anyone put a side fill in and have located the fill door on the passenger side? I ask because there is already a fill door there but its for the propane fill. Im hoping to use the existing door when i ditch the propane and get the rear gas tank setup. Any potential issues that anyone can foresee with my plan? Also i will be using the bed a lot so i do not want the bed fill. I have done searches and came up empty on a passenger side fill door, although I do like some of the trick tail light and licence plate fillers that some of you have ![]() Thanks in advance |

Re: Passenger Side Tank Filler
Most of the conversion tanks have their fill inlet on the drivers side. If you are getting or making a custom tank then it’s just a matter of putting the inlet where you want it.

Re: Passenger Side Tank Filler
I used a 31 gallon tank from a Suburban and that had the fill on the passenger side. I used a gas door off an early S10 that I cut off a junkyard truck. The door is just behind the rear wheel and looks pretty good. I post a pic when I get home.
No issues that I can remember. |

Re: Passenger Side Tank Filler
31 gal from the suburban sounds like an even better solution! is it just the 91' or is there a range of years? I would get a new sending unit if i found a tank in the junkyard, but, will that sending unit work with my 0-90 ohm gauge? I guess i could go to the junkyard and look at passenger side fills to see what else would work also.
I gotta say, i daily drive a 17' f150 with a 34 gal. tank and the thought of a small 21 gal does not sound fun haha i guess im spoiled with new trucks with good fuel economy (for work) i have the door already in on the passenger side, where i would fill the propane, so its just a matter of taking the propane hoses out and putting in whatever i want for a fill neck. no body work necessary ![]()
