Re: Boyd Welding-67-72 Rear Mount Aluminum Tank

here's what I'm laying out for a steel bed, with EFI.

I sent this to Dave to review...anybody else see something here let me know.....I basically took msgross' drawing and tweaked it a bit.

My measurements would put this about 1/4" clearance to the bottom of the bed cross sills. So you could move the side flanges down to 4" if you wanted it TIGHT against the bed. I left some room to run wires if needed.

capacity calculates to 19.6 gallons BTW.


Thanks,
Andy

Looks good and the side exit is what I would need. If an inch was taken off the height that would also work for me. I don't mind losing a little capacity for ground clearance....
