Re: Fuel tank under bed
A little late to the party with this but just want to throw this out there for anyone still trying to decide about a tank relocation. I purchased a poly tank from GMCPaul as an option and installed the tank with the bed off during the body and paint work. My truck being a stock height long bed 4x4 the tank height was not a consideration. Do think it could be installed with the bed on altho I did notch a bed cross member for the install. Tank is held to the frame by two metal straps and the fill comes up into the bed thru the driver's side wheel well. Leaves the bed floor totally available for hauling items. Gathered the fuel fill parts from a early 90's Chevy van if I recall. This was all done about 15 years ago and have had no problems at all. Fills good at full tilt on the fuel nozzle but get a few odd looks when people see me pouring gas in the truck bed. Lots of options to move a tank but as has been mentioned the fuel fill options and related engineering usually is not a vendor strong point. Have to get creative with what one has to work with and available skills and $$.
