Thanks Bruce!!

 

What vehicle is that sitting in? That doesn't look like a 96-98 4runner to me at all, since it has rear leaves, etc.

It's a second-gen pickup.

Yeah, I thought that was what it was, but wasn't sure. I'd love to see what people have done for the 4runners.

The Ford tank is a good idea. I got to do some measurments. I could use the one fom the bronko. This way it has the skid plate to protect the tank. COOL

 

The gas tank issue is just a major PITA. Everyone knows that the easiest place to put a new tank would be in the rear where the spare tire used to go. I would not want to unload the front and load the rear like that. My truck sits level right now and would definately be noticably nose high after a tank relocation like that. 15 gallons of fuel weighs a whole bunch. Also there might be a problem with clearance. I don't know how much room there is under there, but I know I wouldn't want a huge tank hanging out from under my bumper. I honestly have never seriously looked at it because of the weight issue. Without actually taking measurements, I won't speculate further....

 

Has anyone thought of using a small tank in the back and getting something more low profile in the stock location and doing a gravity feed scenario to the "main" (front) tank?

 

I agree with you guys as far as the weight factor, but to be honest, the tank doesn't have to hang low at all. In fact it can be very low profile back there and still hold 20 gallons. As far as the weight being a problem, I don't think it's as much of a big deal as some people may think, but who knows at this point in my game. All I know is that my tank in the stock location sucks for clearance issues, and I've got some plans for a 4-link setup that will prohibit it from being in that location anyway.

Anyone?

 

Read my reply on the first page...

Basically, yes

 

Must have missed your post Dave. To do this, would you run the filler tube to the rear tank since it would be up higer and then connect it to a shallower tank in the factory location? This seems to be pretty doable.

 

if there is room to mount the rear tank higher, then yes, you would run the filler neck to the rear tank. sending unit would go in the front tank. then just connect the two with a hose. one thing that is valuable to remember would be to connect the hose that goes to the front tank on the actual front of the tank so it wouldn't run out going up hill into the rear tank...
