Re: In-cab to under-bed fuel tank conversion questions

MikeB.
Yes I get it your truck is amazing.
Another option is the fill behind the rear plate.
Like the Chevelles from the 60's and 70's. I believe they typically use the Chevelle hinged mount for the Chevelle fuel fill.
Their is also the fill that they hide behind the rear side marker light.
Installing the fill behind may require fab skill that may be beyond the average enthusiast.
One would think the fill location would have been better addressed by the aftermarket providers. Seems most go the easy route and just cut the hole in the bed. Can be dressed up some with a pop up fill/cap. In my opinion installing it in the middle of the bed is ludacrist.
I will carry nothing in the back but maybe a lawn chair/cooler. So having it there may be tolerable. I have my tank installed with the pressure and return lines but no fill yet. Even if it is installed on the very edge of the tank it's still not near the edge of the box. One of the conundrums of installing the tank in a safer but none factory location.
