Fuel tank advice
Next project on my '51 is fuel system. Tankwise the goal is a rear mounted unit with filler neck up through left rear fender. Since my truck is a 3600 I don't have as much flexibility as the 3100s have. Space is more limited. Pic below shows space dimensions.
Note: bottom of frame rail is wider than top of frame rail. Bottom could be trimmed if necessary, just more work. Attachment 2168018 I've narrowed my tank searches down to 2 Tanks Inc. possibilities a 53-CG or a 53-CPS. Originally used on 53-54 Chevy cars. Attachment 2168023 Attachment 2168024 The steel 53-CG measures 29.25" x 21.25" x 8.25" The poly 53-CPS measures 28.5" x 19.5" 8.5" Using the poly tank I could get by without trimming the bottom frame rail. In either case I have to move the crossmember farther back but that's just unrivet, move and bolt or weld back in. I know nothing about poly tanks so could use some advice. Pros & cons. How do you mount a poly tank?
