fuel tanks

have a s10 with 350 duel exhaust . running down both sides with the oem gas tank remove and replace with a fuel cell in the bed of truck. it take up bed space. can i move the fuel cell under the truck ? if so how?

[wild572s10]

cut out floor and build a box measure first for clearance between pipes or what I did was install circle track fuel cell inside steel housing, you will loose spare tire area

Thats cool adds to rear weight to boot. Helping with traction.

man I'm going to get a blazer tank and put in the back where the spare did go.

That looks good like that Wild.
The blazer tank will work in the s10 as long as you either change the cross members in the rear frame rails. Or cut out the existing rails and make your own.
Space.

I fixed the problem with a tank out of 68 ford mustang . yeah I know ford but they got to be good for something... I took the bed off and mount it under the bed cut a hole for the neck.

Looks like a fit!! Only worrysome thing I see is the exhaust shooting down in front of it.
