🛠️ Installation Guidelines

Mounting:

  1. Tank is designed to mount to the bottom of the frame rail
  2. Use the 3" mounting tabs on both sides for secure attachment
  3. Ensure proper clearance from bed floor and frame components
  4. Verify no interference with suspension or drivetrain components

Warning: On 1955-1987 Chevrolet C10 trucks, removing the rear crossmember to install a Panhard bar suspension lets the frame flex and can crack the tank at the mounts. That is an installation issue and is not covered by our two-year limited structural warranty. If your suspension kit calls for removing it, ensure to replace it. Read the full note

Fuel System Connections:

  1. Pump Outlet: Connect to #6 ORB female fitting - this feeds your fuel system

  3. Vent: Properly vent the tank (1/2" NPT on bed fill, 5/8" hose barb on side fill)
