They get dirt in them and you will eventually spill gas on the wood. I put mine in the fender. Gas cap in the fender plumbing frm 73 suburban Just had to add the hose with the label. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,756 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,756 | Mine is in bed and I have occasionally spilled gas when filling.
Just wipe it off the urthane. I never have anything dirty in my bed, I have another truck for that. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 |

That's how mine is and untill ya go lookin' for it most times it gets overlooked as not even being there.
