WITH ALL THIS TALK ABOUT ABOUT GAS TANK RELOCATION WHO HAS PUT THEIR TANK IN THE CENTER OF THE FRAME WITH A SUMMIT FUEL CELL INSTEAD OF IN THE REAR THAT SHOWS UP IN THE REAR AND LOOKS SO OBVIOUS???? IM CONSIDERING PULLING MY BED OFF AND PUTTING A FUEL CELL IN THE CENTER OF THE FRAME. AND RUNNING THE FILLER HOSE IN THE SIDE OF THE BED WITH A S-10 FUEL DOOR OR SOMETHING LIKE IT. I KNOW I WILL HAVE TO REROUTE THE EXHAUST AND OTHER MODS. BUT I THINK IT WOULD LOOK A LOT NICER THAN IN THE REAR WITH A BLAZER TANK HANGING SO LOW AND SHOWING UP ON A LOWERED TRUCK ANY IDEAS OR PIC.S IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Mini bike, ive seen it done on some members trucks. im just wonderin how and what they did to to do it. it might have been done with a custom made alum. tank thanks, DAN

Hey, I'm all for new ideas. Just keep it inside the frame rails, so it doesn't blow up like the late70's early 80's saddle tanks. I'm not thrilled about having mine just inside the rear bumper, but I would rather have it there than in the cab. Let me know what you come up with.
