Blazer tank fuel filler, with out cutting up the bed.
 
How many of you guys have done the blazer tank under the bed, with out chopping it up for a fuel filler on the side?

Was thinking about the bed floor, but that'd suck to not be able to fill up while loaded..

Who's done a filler behind the license plate like the older muscle cars?

Man, you brought up a good point, I always have crap in my bed.

I read earlier today that the filler behind the plate wont work because you would be pumping the fuel at an incline.

unless one where to use a metal filler neck that jsut ran up the corner of the bed and had the cap right under the bed rail..?

I've seen a few on here that use it behind the license plate though.

done that. Cut a filler neck off an old in cab tank. I used it with a pipe that the exhaust shop bent for me so I could hook it up at the neck & tank with a short piece of stick hose. I ran the vent hose up into the boxside with a filter on the end of it for a breather. Fuel is a little slow going in, "first catch" on the nozzle deal. I'll try to get some pics of it.

Stake pocket fuel filler. Looks great and functions great!

Sorry, cant find the topic.

Pics would be awesome.

Why is it slow to fill?
