This is for a friend. He has a CJ7 and is thinking about installing a fuel cell instead of the stock gas tank since his is leaking. I saw a pic a long time back that had a cell that was half above and half below floor level. Would like to find that one again, and any other pics of fuel cells in jeeps. Did a search, but didn't turn up anything. Thanks

Havent seen this pic recently, but there was a guy that took a TJ tank, and lifted it into the bed area. It gave him more clearance, and didn't take up too much space in the rear.
He fabbed up a hinged cover as I reacall.
Not sure what he did for the fill tube.

Personally I'm looking at taking out my 20 gallon CJ tank, and putting a fuel cell in the bed.
I'm just looking at puttin one in and strapping it down, and running the lines.
Plus I'll get a GM sender, and put in a guage that actually works. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
They fill from the top, so I won't be dealing with those fancy fill tubes.
I probably will regret it the first time I spill some in there, but we'll see.

I like the smell of gas. <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0">

Yeah me too. I am in process of installing an RCI 20 gal aluminum unit in the bed of my blazer. Looks pretty sweet and no more bashing the tank on rocks! Can't wait to run it and see how she works. <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0">

BAJG did lift his Stock tank into the bed area. He used a truck box of some kind and it seems to work so far.

I think that Paul Navsik lifted his too. If memory serves.

I'll try and find the pics/link for ya. Ps. I am board at work, could you tell? <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
