I have never heard of one blowing up, that's true. But having fuel in the passenger compartment scares me to no end. I can't believe this thing even COMES with an ashtray, just 4 feet from 16 gallons of gas. On a warm day, you can sometimes smell the gas too. Mmmm, gas fumes.
But here's an idea so that you don't have to worry about the hole in the cab if you move your tank. If you put the tank under the bed in front of the wheels, like in a north-south arrangement on the passenger side of the bed, then you can still use the stock filler neck and have it plumbed down through the cab and into the tank under the bed.
I'm thinking of doing that for the aux. tank. Then probably having a main tank behind the axle with a big heavy bumper protecting it like this other guy is doing.
Yeah, I don't like getting gas too often! Heh heh. Actually, when this truck gets a V8, I know it's going to be pretty thirsty towing a load, and I'd like to have a minimum of 350 miles range because of some of the open stretches out west here. Especially in Utah and Nevada.
