How would you hide the flow of fuel from the tank above it? Not to mention the hot exhaust system adjacent to the river of gas! Try installing a Pinto fuel filler behind the bumper.

Don't you need to think ahead to modify a fuel filler?

What was nice about those was that it didn't matter which side the pump was at when you pulled up in the station.

I like the roof-top idea, but you'll need a ladder to fill-up.
Unless you can stand up on the 2nd row door sill?

Behind the taillight but have it come out inside/beside the edge of barn door
(kind of facing the pass side, but beside the hinge in the bard door opening)
Now you can haul stuff inside without worrying about filling up.

The current trend here in FL is to seal over the door openings and windows.
You get the best shaved look possible - a completely smooth side.
Then you won't need to worry about where you put fuel.
Sorry couldn't resist...

Additional concern.. in an accident if sufficient damage is done to the tank it spews the fuel INTO the EX if you put the fill inside.

I know it "will never happen to me"....

Ever seen what a "survivor" of a fire looks like?
