No idea on the fuel cell.

As far as the pics go I started a photobucket acct. and upload pics to there then link from PB to here. I can only link 2 per post but I was having fits trying to get my pics down to required size.

Re: should i get a fuel cell

Do a search on posting pictures. There are several "how to" posts. Easiest is to use paint in windows.

Fuel Cell Guy here on the board will custom make one for you for your blazer, any size you want.

Couple things to consider though.
1) It's going to cost you a lot more than a stock replacement tank &
2) There's only so much room under there to expand the fuel capacity other than dropping it down lower.

The stock tank already sits 7.5"s below the frame and for wheeling that's to low to begin with, make sure you don't make changes when changes may not work so well.

Fuel Cell Guy custom made mine to the specs I supplied him, it only sits 3"s below the frame rails and still has an 18 gallon capacity like a stock tank.

Re: should i get a fuel cell

ok thanks ur tanks is very nice but i dont want to go smaller and u make a point about a bigger tank is gonna hang lower, i dont want that either. i have a 30 or so gal. tank from a suburban but its aliitle too big to put inbetween frame rails i may just get new hoses and lines and a sending unit for the stock tank. thanks i liked ur tube doors
