Ruh Roh! Blazer tank issues... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I went to cut the bed brace this evening to allow clearance for the blazer tank and realized that the filler exits directly under the bed brace. Is this common?

It looks like I can cut a small section of brace out entirely to allow the filler to come up through the bed floor and then use 2 metal strap pieces to bridge the bed mount to the rest of the bed brace around the filler.

I could also move the tank back towards the rear bumper a few inches, but that would entail drilling many more holes and re-running the fuel line, which I really don't want to do.

Has anyone else ran into this problem?
