Yeah it has fought me a bit but is in therw and will come out easily.

The saddle tanks sit to low and a rear tank requires a heavy skid plate which traps dirt and rust the tank.

An in cab tank eliminates issues with clearance, rust, and in my case snow sitting on the tank. Also safer location with current headache bar and later inside roll cage.

Trying to not have anything custom. But the 3 ports makes sense to save the pump and keep it quieter.
