This gives it enough pressure on the gasket and additional sealing against the tank neck so I no longer have any leakage, even when full and turning hard right.

It did take a couple of tries to get a replacement cap with a vent that actually works right. And the o-rings wear out over time, so I do have to maintain them.

My issue with relocating the tank was the filler. I do not want the filler in the bed, and my fab skills don't support anything fancier....
Sweet deal Lattimer! I will check back in with you when I get to that point.

I was actually going to cut my old filler neck off of the tank and fabricate mounting tabs so I could stick it back through the factory hole. To keep it stock appearing, even with a rear fill under bed tank.

But I'm seriously thinking I'm gonna huck my stock tank back in my rig.
