Passenger Side Tank Filler

[TinnMann]

Hello fellow wrenchers,

I will be installing a side fill rear tank conversion kit this spring (possibly from LMC). I have to convert the truck to gas because the PO had it on propane. Has anyone put a side fill in and have located the fill door on the passenger side? I ask because there is already a fill door there but its for the propane fill. Im hoping to use the existing door when i ditch the propane and get the rear gas tank setup. Any potential issues that anyone can foresee with my plan? Also i will be using the bed a lot so i do not want the bed fill.

I have done searches and came up empty on a passenger side fill door, although I do like some of the trick tail light and licence plate fillers that some of you have

Thanks in advance

Most of the conversion tanks have their fill inlet on the drivers side. If you are getting or making a custom tank then it’s just a matter of putting the inlet where you want it.

I used a 31 gallon tank from a Suburban and that had the fill on the passenger side. I used a gas door off an early S10 that I cut off a junkyard truck. The door is just behind the rear wheel and looks pretty good. I post a pic when I get home.

No issues that I can remember.

I used a side fill passenger side on my crew cab too off a 91 suburban

31 gal from the suburban sounds like an even better solution! is it just the 91' or is there a range of years? I would get a new sending unit if i found a tank in the junkyard, but, will that sending unit work with my 0-90 ohm gauge? I guess i could go to the junkyard and look at passenger side fills to see what else would work also.

I gotta say, i daily drive a 17' f150 with a 34 gal. tank and the thought of a small 21 gal does not sound fun haha i guess im spoiled with new trucks with good fuel economy (for work)

i have the door already in on the passenger side, where i would fill the propane, so its just a matter of taking the propane hoses out and putting in whatever i want for a fill neck. no body work necessary

Here is the tank I installed and the door while I was welding it in.
