The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop Mustang Gas Tank

It sounds like a few folks have used a 60's Mustang gas tank in their AD truck. Can anyone give advice on placement? Can it go all the way to the rear and still get the fuel filler in the bed at a decent location? Does it need to go as close to the rear end as fuel lines will allow?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

I think I asked my question wrong.

For any fuel tank/cell mounted under the bed, behind the rear end, does anyone have details on how far back it should go? I am concerned about the fuel filler in particular. With the tank I bought, it is all the way to the back, close to the center. Should the tank hug up close to the rear end or put it as far back as possible?

The bed was not on the truck when I bought it and I'm guessing the 3600 I bought as an "assembled model" has different dimensions in the back?

I would like to weld in the brackets to hold the tank and I really don't want to mess this up.

Thanks for any and all help.

Here's a gas tank install I did....

I put my tank in the back centered behind the axle and used the spare tire crossmwmber and back crossmember to attach my straps to, i used a universal tank instead of a mustang tank. if you search the forum there is a thread that shows some really good pictures of the install. that is the thread that i used as a reference for my tank install. I have some pictures of the tank after installation. PM me if you want me to send you some. here is the link to the thread on gas tank swap https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=795202&page=1

Thanks guys, appreciate the advice. I'm on the road to putting it behind the axle such that the far back will be a few inches forward of the very back of the truck. Hopefully it will work out.
