under bed tank options

[Nola67]

I know there are several.. from no limits, boyds to cpp and blazer tanks so on.
Would you guys that have a ls friendly under bed tank mind posting up your set ups?
daunting to search all the build threads.. be nice to have a one stop shop for info on all the different options..

Fabbed aluminum 16gal fuel cell. Has a few sq feet of tank foam in it, and a sumped bottom where my fuel feed line is.

I am running a 91 suburban tank. Just installed a high pressure 255 pump and got a couple of adapter to hook up an lines. Had to fab up some brackets to mount it but that was easy.

Cool work br3w city. Does the fuel line have potential getting caught on something going down the road or is that just the pic?

Black pony, whats the measuments on the tank? Price? Any ground clearance concerns? Seems like a decent alternative to a 800$ aftermarket tank..

i used a spectra tank from a '69 camaro ( kinda funny that so many parts meant for that car ended up on my truck, friggin hate those cars)

I can't find any final pics but here's a link to my flickr which has some shots of it going in https://www.flickr.com/photos/lammergeier/11957948316/

I'd probably do it different if I did it again. maybe a blazer tank or a adapt a 99-2003 silverado tank into a left side saddle tank.

It's a hard fill for the pump jockeys (oregon law, can't pump your own freedom juice) and they usually spill some.

Boyd.... rea$onable priced even with the Aeromotive Stealth 340 in-tank pump (and should be quieter too)

And it just looks professional. Top notch quality... here is the one I put in my 66 (its actually a 67-72 EFI Bed Fill tank that 'fits' into our 66 C-10's....

.

The line sits more even with the tank strap than it looks in the picture. It doesn't hang below the tank, it only protrudes slightly to the side. If you drew a straight line from it, there are about 3 things that would hit before the actual line caught on anything.

I guess if I ran over a bunch of rebar or something it could, but its pretty unlikely to say the least. It also makes pumping the tank down easier...my fuel pump comes off the frame rail, you can drop into a bucket and power-pump the tank empty.

The tank is huge, its 31 gallons. I just ordered the tank and hanger assembly from ebay. Got the part numbers off oreillys website and put them in the search. I believe all said and done I have around $250 in it all. The fuel pump i actually got for free. I work at a performance shop and we had a bunch of factory 5.0 mustang fuel pumps laying around so i cut out the pump itself and installed it. Those cars run around 55 lbs of fuel pressure so it should be fine. I have also made over 600 rwhp using the stock pump without a boost a pump so I will be fine there. I will try and get a few more pictures, but with the way I fabbed my hitch it barely fits but it fits. Also one thing to note is the filler neck will need to be relocated. Lastly ground clearance should be around 10-11 inches at the lowest point. The tank has a notch at the rear that helps with clearance also. Hope this helps, my swap is not a simple bolt it in, some fab work will be needed, but all said and done it will be at least half the price as most other aftermarket tanks.

patience.... its getting a dual pot w/ a booster

[Custom 68]

I used a poly Blazer tank with an external pump for a few years. I wanted a better looking and working system so I went with boyds with an in tank pump. I am happy with it.

[Clyde65]

I also did the Boyd's tank, It was reasonable but mine has external pump since I had it prior to the tank.

Hey Brew, Your arse is showing!!!!! cover that thing up dude!

Gotta give people behind me something to aim for....with all that crash resistance a roll-pan has

[Clyde65]

Hahaha! Hopefully they have bad aim and miss you and your truck completely!!!

i also used this tank. It's the most natural looking of any ones I've seen.
