Anyone have any good ideas for tanks. I have seen some mention a trooper tank, but I dont wna to weld on it. Was looking at a buddies early Bronco tank, and tht would work, but is actually a few inches too narrow, leaving some valuable space.
Anyone have any other good ideas for a tank.
 
Plug...Mike Ismail/IH only-Lancaster is here at the rallye now.

Talk to him tomorrow when ya arrive, he's done several s80 fuel tank workarounds. He's also provided me with a pristine driver side tank and should have several more to chose from.
 
Arent you supposed to be there too?

My stock tanks look to be in decent shape, but I had a nifty idear on how to rework that space for some storage and more room for the boys, as well as would prefer one larger (25ish gallons) tank.

He is there.
 
Ive been doing some more research.

Supposedly, wrangler tanks come in a 15 and 20 gallon variety, but that quantra link above only shows 15 gallon.

Chevy blazer tanks are like 28.5" wide, which might fit back there, and are 12.75 tall, which would hang down a few inches, but not too bad, and they are 25 gallon tanks.

A fullsize Bronco tank is like 33" wide, by 18 long an 13 tall. I dont see a reason you could not turn the tank 90 degrees, and fill from the rear bumper. Both tanks would have internal pumps which have pros and cons.

Can anyone think why I could not turn the tank 90 degrees and fill from the rear? Having had my Bronco on its lid, I believe there is a rollover valve in there (or I have a good cap I guess):
