I would like to see what you have done for filler necks and doors when relocating fuel tanks from cab to under bed using a Blazer style tank.
Thanks for any input.

Just got my filler done today. I will post it tomorrow

What year tanks are everyone using? will the 73-87 blazer/suburban tanks work??

Thanks

No pic,but a friend brought a neck up through the floor at the bedside and boxed it.I think he had an exhaust shop bend pipe for the neck.I don`t remember how it filled.I think he hinged the side marker.I like grafting filler doors in.

I saw where a guy brought it straight up to the bed rail and used a stainless screw-in marine filler.That was super clean.

I made a door and put mine in the bed of my truck...I don't have any pics of it though.

Hi Kevin, you have seen mine in person. Let me know if you want detailed pictures.

I think I'm going to do the flip-down tail light method. There's a thread somewhere around here about it.

I personally like the marine style in the bed floor one

sellersrodshop · 07-21-2009, 02:28 PM

88-98 silverado (or 2nd gen S-10) fuel doors look and work pretty well. You can check my build thread for the install I did on mine.

I just did mine yesterday so its pretty raw still. It is a piece of 5 inch square tubing cut at a 45 with a piece of 16 gauge welded over the top. I still have to cut a hole in the top for my marine style fuel filler but you get the idea
