I haven't seen a suitable rebuttle from you other than this smiley -->

For whatever reason = crew cabs, extended cabs and the market share (profits) they bring.

No, I'm not saying that. Read my original post. I'm saying moving the tank for safety reasons alone makes no sense...and if you do so, there is more to safety than location. Read the article I posted a link to.

If you're smelling gas fumes, your 30 year old system needs attention, they didn't come this way from the factory.
