Altenative to the keg
I figured that would get your attention...I want to get the gas tank out of the cab of my stepside but don't really want to put it under the bed due to cutting/welding/difficulty filling. I have seen where some use the reliable keg as a tank but again that requires a bit of fabricating (and I really don't want to ride around with a non-consumable keg in the bed either).
Has anyone used one of these? they are aluminum, made for sandrails/buggies, 16 gallons, powdercoated straps, $200

Re: Altenative to the keg
i've used similar for a couple of different rods they work good // the down side is that they dent easily and in the bed of truck that is used as a truck wouldnt last 15minutes without multipule dents for me and would restrict the bed from carrying bijes and those type of things i haul

Re: Altenative to the keg
There was a guy running around town here (Tucson, AZ) in a 65-66 chevy stepside, where he installed one of those tanks under the bed in the back. I took picts for future ref but cant find them.

Re: Altenative to the keg
Can a gas gage be used on that style of tank?

Re: Altenative to the keg
its on ebay...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-A...QQcmdZViewItem They have them all the way from 16 gallons down to 2.5 gallons (why one would need 2.5 gallons of gas is beyond me). Very good point about being able to use the gas guage. How do they use the guage in the tanks they put under the bed?
