Re: I Don't Think I'm Going To Move My Fuel Tank

No issues here, i put a Boyd fuel cell in my K20, bent and routed the lines in the passenger side frame, never starved for fuel.

Biggest problem i had was the fuel cell i bought was for a 1/2T and the 3/4T frame is a bit taller so the mount flanges were not in the best place for my truck.

Most of the issues i read about were during fill up where the fill tube incorporates a vent tube, the vent tube usually has to be extended using a length of rubber hose, if you let that hose have a low spot or a dip its possible that gas can get burped into that spot creating a slow fill condition, keep it routed so it will self drain and no problem.

I think you could also do a search on Falcon and Mustang tanks as well for a rear fill. More options.

I moved mine mainly to create space in the truck, but i did get vaper smell off and on.
