Relocated Gas Tank with Pump in the Tank

[dgheinen]

I've been reading what seems like hundreds of threads, looking for the 'best' way to relocate the gas tank and mount the pump in the tank.

Here's what I've gathered:

87-91 Blazer tank can be done, and is cheap, and can use an AC Delco high pressure pump, but you have to modify the underside of the bed to get it to fit, it hangs out the bottom, and the filler neck location is not ideal.

LMC Truck tank: Basically a Blazer tank, but comes in a nice kit with the sender, retention straps, all the hardware, etc. Requires the same modifications as the Blazer tank, AND you have to cut a hole for the pump in the tank. This one seems pretty unlikely.

87ish Jeep Wranger/Cherokee tank is similar in width/length, but being 18ish gallons, isn't as deep (to my super limited understanding). The resistance is different on the sending unit, so your gauge will have to be changed.

69ish Camaro tank: This tank is extremely wide, and is mounted under the frame rails, which means there is a lot of tank hanging out under the rear bumper/diff/etc. Possible clearance issue for lowered rigs. Filler neck is fairly easy to locate though, as it comes out directly behind the license plate, and with a flip down license plate bracket, filling is easy.

Custom/Fabricated fuel cell from venders: Very expensive, often times still requires modification to the underside of the bed for clearance issues. Some places require extra $$ to even put a dang custom fuel cell in a box during shipment.


At this point, I'm sure there are things about the above listed methods that I left out, but none of them seem very direct. Many of the threads I've been reading through the search engine are almost a decade old. Since then, have any new methods come out that are more straight forward?

Or am I just overthinking this, and should I stick with the in-cab tank and do an in line pump? Again, I'm really sorry if this has been done over and over.
