Moving the gas tank

Is there a fuel cell that will fit where the spare tire is supposed to go. I'm trying to relocate mine but I don't want to pay $400 for a custon aluminum one. Will any of the universal one like in Summit work under the truck?
Thanks, Tim

you could probably make anything fit if you try hard enough, but alot of people are using blazer poly tanks I think you can but the kit for around $200.

Summitt Racing has a poly tank that will fit between the frame rails.

That is what I installed for about $175. If you need part number I can look it up for you and picture on how it looks after installed.

I believe this is one of the universal poly fuel cells sold by Summit Racing. Belong to one of the board members but I can't remember who. Try a search for fuel cells.
