Pros and cons for moving gas tank on fj40 (2 Viewers)

Where did you get your tank?

That was a TCI fuel cell. I more recently built a tank for it though, over 30 gallons.

I am moving mine to rear outside. I bought a NOS confer tank it was a nogo with my 14 bolt pushed back 4 inches. I spent some time with tape measure and drew up a tank for rear. I had steel water jet cut at work and sent it to get bent on CNC brake. Front bottom and rear one piece 1/4in. Both sides and top built from 11 ga. Cubic inches converted to gallons should be 23 1/2 gal capacity. Here are a few pics putting it together

I've flopped my rig with the tank under the seat over 50 times and never had a problem .

Remind me not to go wheeling with you
