Robert do you have a photo of this, I am curious how it is set up

Hi David, just wanted to say how much I enjoy these videos. I’ve watched everything from rust repair, to brake upgrades, to this fuel tank video. You are a natural teacher, and have a great ability to provide encouragement and confidence to beginners. Hopefully this pays dividends to Brothers Trucks too, so they keep you busy making more videos.

The air hose should be ran high up inside the bedside. A rollover valve should be installed prior to a filter you mentioned. However, factory filler neck have a fitting to allow air displaced during filling, a place to go. This operates the aspirator tube to shut off the pump and helps reduce the interruption of fuel flow when refilling. I would recommend a period correct carbon canister, when “Tee’d” into your air line, can store & save the hydrocarbons you paid for. Using a vacuum switching valve that opens when coolant is at operating conditions, the engine will evacuate the raw hydrocarbons and add to fuel economy. A late model canister can be adapted from a salvage yard and mounted underneath out of sight, but the folks using an “LS” type engine can be programmed to operate purge only thru one hose. No EVAP software needs to run. If you don’t give a captured place for your tank fumes to go, like a canister, you will smell raw fuel sitting still durning ambient temperature changes. The fuel heats up while driving from road heat, exhaust and any engine that uses a return fuel line, from the injector rail, regulator type fuel filter or mechanical fuel pumps that have the return line. Just something to plan for as every project is different. Nice products at Brothers though. Research & plan helps. ASE Master Tech since 1978 - Retired

running new lines is as simple as extending the existing lines back to the new tank. If you're adding a side fill, thne that becomes more of a custom project you'll need to work out on your own. Figure out where you want it, what it should look like and how easy it will be to fill... then do your own mods to get the pipe to the tank. Not really that difficult, just requires some planning because there is not a current kit available.

That entirely depends on the needs of your engine. Most engines will operate just fine with 5/16 fuels lines. Engines with higher horsepower will require more fuel and therefore also larger lines.

I mounted it between the the outer and inner skin of the bed vertically on a piece of angle iron and fastened it with some bolts through the inner wall and painted over it. Nobody will know it's there. It's tucked away from any weather and water and you can still access it from underneath. The vent is designed to allow your tank to breath as fuel is entering the tank and leaving during fuel consumption. The valve also is designed to contain the gas in the tank if you ever roll the truck.

Como puedo conseguir un tanque asi

Is there anyway I can get a tank that can be under the bed and still fill from the cab?

That would be completely custom and something we've never seen done before. If you try it, let us know how it works out.

Curious if you did this and if so, how you routed the line from cab fill location to tank?

@@russellzacharias3535 Currently the plan hasn't started yet but when I return home from leave I can start thinking of how to do it. I may end up cutting a hole in the bottom of the cab to allow the fuel through to the tank. I reaaly like the look and ease of filling the truck up at that spot so If it works that'd keep her stock as well as functional

@@ethancotter4632 Ya, see that is what I was wondering...if you go out the bottom its going to have a point that is quite low to fill the tank (height wise I am thinking of various side mount GM pickups over the years and where those fill doors were located)...if you go from the original height and go back, through the rear of the cab you end up right close to where the bed walls are BUT there maybe room inside the outer skin (again its a height thing, wanting it down hill).

@@russellzacharias3535 Im sure I will figure it out, I need to see my options for tanks and spots to place it. I may be able to place it above the drive train. Though its not my first concern yet

What is the price for the tank?

Why not lower the tank rather than cutting the bed rale?

You'd have to lower it 6" or more to clear the frame. At that point ground clearance will be a serious problem.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV in addition why would you lower 6 inches or more? Dave only cut a couple of inches out of the bed support rail in order that the bed would fit over the tank.
