Re: Saddle tank as main tank

Personally, if it were me, I'd rather have the in cab tank rather than the saddle tank. Reason for that is because the in cab tank has a small surface area to be hit in a side collision, whereas the saddle tank the whole thing is basically right there. Not to mention the in cab tank would be sitting up a little higher.

Obviously, the best way to do this would be like the newer trucks that have a tank inside the frame rails. But newer trucks have wider frames, so on our trucks it's pretty much impossible. Although I have heard people fitting older F#rd Ranger tanks in our frames.


Just my 2c.
