Fuel Tank
I'm trying to find out which rear mounted fuel tank is better. The after market metal or the poly one. I have both and only need one so I want to sell the other.

Re: Fuel Tank
The plastic ones seem to eventually leak around the sending unit, at least here in the desert. I sell a lot of the metal ones to replace the plastic ones for that reason.

Re: Fuel Tank
Guys I have a 72 SWB c10. The gas tank is currently behind the seat but I want to relocate it to the rear. How hard is this on a scale of 1 - 10? Do I have to take the bed off? Prices and recs. of success stories are welcomed!

Re: Fuel Tank
For sure take the bed off. A few bolts and unplug the harness, bed off. Hardest part is bribing your friends to come over and help lift it off. After that, the tank part is pretty easy. a few bolts, sending unit wire, extend or run new fuel line, back in business.
