Custom fuel cell - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Alright guys I'm going to have a fuel cell built problem is I dont know what exactly I want. I want it mounted under the bed floor, I cant put it in the back behind the axle as my exhaust is in the way, I could put it above the frame, just not between the rails. I plan on raising the floor about 3-4". Ideas? pretty much have to put it either in front of or behind the axle between the rails on top of the frame but under the raised floor.

do you guys think it matters weather or not I make it wider than the frame rails??

that might make for a wierd tank, why not move the exhaust? like dump it in front of the rear axle? then you can call Boyds and get one of their aluminum tanks.

not moving the exhaust. I do not like dumps.

OK, maybe someone has another option. if you can think it and draw something, boyds can make it too.

based on this picture

I would say a cool spot might be like a 10 gallon tank on the inside of the frame between the axle and that crossmember, like opposite of the 4 link?
