http://community.webshots.com/user/lakeroadsterThe problem with the higher capacity tanks is they hang down real low. That why I used a 15 gallon chevy passenger car tank.
I am a Design Engineer and enjoy the challenge of things like this. If you go to my webshots link I have some drawings I made of the gast tank arrangement I utilized on my truck as well as pictures of the install / fabrications. Do you have any pictures of the frame area behind the rear axleon your truck? I would like to see the space constraints, maybe we can figure something out?
Thanks and IMHO you are making the right decision in relocating the tank out of the cab.
