pics of how you ran fill hose on rear mounted tanks

[travz500]

Hey guys I have heard of lots of different fill hose ideas but have seen no pictures how did you all hook up your fill hose to your rear mounted tanks?
I am gonna buy the boyds tank and would like to see some pics of how you all hooked them up I am also trying to decide if I should get the top fill and just go thru the bed floor but my truck is 4x4 and has a 8" lift and will have
38" tires so will be tall and I think the fuel doors look funny on these beds

[travz500]

anyone??

[Goinlow64]

I dont have a picture, but I just wrapped my filler hose up this week. I have an LMC rear mount tank. The problem was the flush mount bed filler I had was 1.5" and the tank is 1 and 3/8" on the neck. SO I used a copper 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" reducer. The 1.25 end fit perfect in the neck on the tank. I also sweated in a 1.5" street 45 to get the neck pointed up instead of angled. I Right now I have the bed off, so I just have about 6" of fuel fill hose contacted to the filler and the neck. Hope that makes sense!

so is yours going up thru the bed or the bed side?
kinda lost me had to read it twice

STARTED THINKING THEN SAW A ADD FOR A 56 210 AND THOUGHT THROUGH TAIL LITE ,,?? JUST A THOUGHT ALOHA HOP SORRY FOR CAPS NO GLASSES TODAY

This is what I'm thinking of doing Travz.

[travz500]

looks good wayno havent ordered my tank yet because not sure how I want to fill it from top or side???????

[wayno]

Another option if your filler does come up directly between the boards - looks like this is off a rice rocket - could even probably get a key - that might be kind of interesting - like this look a bit more than the other option I found.

[wayno]

I bit the bullet and ordered mine today - I'm not much of a fabricator so I'm going to try my luck with the floor and that way I get a couple of shots to get creative (being that I'm going to try to cut my own new floor boards) - saw somewhere on here where someone posted the measurements and which dato blades to use. Post up some pics when you get yours done I'd love to see where you ended up with it.

[BigRed76]

You could do something like this since it's a lifted 4X4...

[travz500]

yes bigred thought about that but at the same time if I ever go play in the mud after the money I am spending might cry if it gets messed up but I also live on gravel so that option would not work. Could end up with to much junk in the tank even thought about going strait out the back but not even sure I like that idea

I understand that. I'm not too familiar with the 60-66 thrucks, but you might be able to do a tail light filler of some sort, where the tail light flips down to access a hidden fuel filler.

What about behind the rear license plate?

[McCoyAZ]

IF you put the filler neck in the wood bed and you spill gass all over the place it will become an issue.

Behind the license plate would work

or

If you want to do "a little" modification you could open up one of the rear stake pockets and run it inside and bring it out inside the bed up off the floor.

[travz500]

well ordered 2 drivers side fill tanks for 2 trucks and 2 aluminum 4 row radiators and electric fans from Pro Performance forum vendor here I am gonnna try to run in up by the tail light and put a fill hole there somewhere I wont have to look at from the side everytime I get in so it wont bother me as much thanks for the input guys

[raiderfan34]

[TxRat]

Not the most practical but it is a better set up than what I had. I will figure out a more permanent fix later.

have you seen these khttp://www.classictrucks.com/tech/1002clt_1947_chevy_truck_bed_wood_tailgate_install/photo_22.htmlits
sorry,dont know what happened there,anyways its a hidden underbed hinge kit that lifts that board up=no nasty gas spills on your new beautiful wood floor

[Chevy Fleetside]

I did this with mine when it was a step side. The cap is from a Ford Mustang of the 2000 yr models. It was a pain when I had stuff in the back and had to put gas in. .

[austin60c10]

Is your truck a fleet or stepside trav? I have a stepside and we ran it to the top of the fender and put a popup motorcycle cap on it idk if I have pics I'll look.
