DIFFERENT gas filler idea.
so i'm trying to avoid doing body work (i like all my chips and scratches and dents they are "character marks") soooo....
what if i use my existing saddle tank filler door on my bedside and route a tube (hose), going to the back to the truck, to connect to a REAR custom EFI tank?? is that dangerous to have that rubber hose that long? keep in mind i'm using legit, thick fuel hose. reasons why: i dont want a bed fill, tail light filler door is out of my league for fabrication, i dont want to pay for a side bed fill to be put in at the body shop, the saddle filler door just looks better to me than a costom built into the bedside (too smooth and modern for me) THANKS brethren |

Re: DIFFERENT gas filler idea.
sounds like a disaster in the making
i'd think it wood b almost impossible to pump gas into it at the pumps to fill the tank. because the tank might probally end up higher than where the fill is

Re: DIFFERENT gas filler idea.
It's definitely possible. I used a Suburban tank on the K25 and put the filler in the rear stake pocket using a stainless boat filler. It runs behind the tail light bucket and uses a combo of welded stainless u-bends and certified fuel hose. I use 2 vent lines. The tank fills with no problems...not slow at all.
Here's a few pics:
