Burb Fuel Tank

So I am wanting to put a single tank into my k30 crew cab, I know how to mount the tank but I am trying to get ideas of ways to put the filler in the truck. Dont really want to put one in the bed floor as I want to use the truck as a truck so there might be stuff that ends up on top of the fuel door. Anyone got pictures of what they did when they installed a burb tank in their truck?

Re: Burb Fuel Tank

I`d be interested also, as I plan to do this. I currently have a flatbed, so it isn`t really an issue for me, however i may swap a reg bed onto it. I have seen Blazer tanks in shortbeds with the filler behind the tail light. Maybe on the inside panel of the bed?

Re: Burb Fuel Tank

I've thought about inside the bed out toward the side. The bumper is to low, the filler for the tank is above the frame rail so the fuel would just come right back out
