Thanks, but there is not one for my application through them

I'm looking at doing this except doing the opposite putting a suburban tank on my 4 door Tahoe. Only thing I'm flustered on is how to fill the main tank. Any new updates? I was wondering if a gravity fill would some how work...

no updates, been working on a sheet metal fan shroud to correct the air gaps caused by the body lift. But your should be simple...flip down license plate bracket with the filler house mounted behind it.

Ahhh if only it were that easy. Haha I found a "modified" bumper off of a service truck at a junk yard. They added more steel to the original bumper to reinforce and put a pintle and trailer wiring where the license plate went.

good luck with the fan.

I added a NOS Blazer 26 gallon diesel tank from Coleman's Surplus to my '85 Toy 4runner. I can now carry around 45 gallons of fuel plus the 5 gallon jerry can. I installed it behind the axle where the spare tire used to go.

One pic:

You can just barely see the bottom of the tank skid plate (1/16th" sheet metal) in this pic:

I use gravity feed (ignore Transfer Flow and their bogus "gravity feed is illegal" bull crap) going through a 3/8" in line fuel filter and a 3/8" ball valve from McMaster. I only "refuel" while stopped not while driving.

Hope this helps.

Anyone think this could be use as an aux fuel tank. It would fit perfectly where the spare tire is and would add a skid plate for extra protection. Here's a link for some other ones.
