    Im looking for an idea on where to put my tank
    mines is located on the passenger side and makes it a bitch to pump gas since everyone elses seem to have it on the opposite side
    Im not thinkin bout getting a fuelcell since im staying static.

    I am planning to move mine between the framerails in the back sideways. Seems like it should work pretty well. Just have to extend the fuel lines and wires. Well, that and make some bracket to hold the thing up in place. I think some tanks wont fit back there sideways so check a measurement on it before you get to far into the planning stages.
