Truck and Car shop in Orange CA have the Blazer galvanized steel tank kit for $192. It does require crossmember removal or cutting, additional lines to run to the cannister, filler tube, and filler installation. Obviously it requires placement of the filler.

Fuel Cell Guy quoted me $375. This tank seems to be pretty customized for my truck (e.g. no crossmember problems, mounts without fabricating stud on a blazer), I'm debating if its worth the additional cost. It also has the filler neck.

I'm probably not going to get too tricky with the filler location. Can anyone describe the best way to locate the filler through a door on the side bed panel? Also, do I need to remove the bed for a Blazer and FuelCellGuy installation? What kind of lines do I need to supply the cannister?

Thanks
