Re: Fuel Tank Delete???

I agree, HOTFUN. I think it was probably taken out when the conversion was made. Does anyone still run their saddle tanks? I pulled one of mine out to look at it and it's quite a nifty little design. Quite the complex shape. They hang from the bed floor from two large bolts that run through the tank, top to bottom, inside hollow tubes in each tank.

Totally impossible for assembly line process. My C30 C38 chassis had started out a dually cab chassis and the camper outfit took the tank out cut the tank mount straps and holder flush at the floor and cut access hole in the cab back panel a crawl space about 3 by 3 opening into the cab over camper. The original gas cap also was bolted on to the filler neck and slid all the way against the rubber tank grommet.
