Great observation. I'm already mulling over how to re-engineer it. After getting it all in place I used a square to estimate where the bottom of the tank would land. The way it is now, the tank bottom would be about 2" below the lower edge of the rear bumper. Not a look I can tolerate. So, what that means is the tank will need to sit higher between the frame rails. It appears there's no way to have a flat floor in the trunk with the Blazer EFI tank. I don't want it to look like a fuel cell strapped to the trunk floor, but it's gotta come up.
