Under-bed gas tank without removing the bed or rails?

A mid 60s mustang tank slides between the rails nicely - to make it removable you would need to make the rear crossmember bolt in (which is what I had done) and I think this would allow you to fit and service the tank without removing the box. You may need to lift the rear of the box though to clear the main box cross member. I can send pics later this week if you are interested.

And at www.tanksinc.com you can get the mustang style tank with a 0-30 ohm sender. . https://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/p...rod/prd502.htm oh boy a 22 gal option.

yes - its quite small - 16 gals.
i fitted a 7 inch tube style sender that is 0-30 ohm so connects with the stock gauge nicely.

You know that using the original gauge and a new sending unit it only needs a resistor to make it work. couple threads on here as a how to.

Yes, I read through those posts and tried the resistor upgrade. Still doesn’t work. I will have to remove the sending unit and check it outside of the tank.

Yes, please do post some pics. Thanks!

Here's my early Mustang tank It's only about 16 gal., though. but it fits nicely between the frame rails. When I ordered my gauges I just got one to match the Mustang sender.

exactly the same as my setup - apart from I mounted to the lower frame - the mustang tanks fit up nicely and bolt to the rails along the perimeter.
