changing gas tank
Any of you guys ever swapped out your behind the seat gas tank and put one under the bed? Or, simply made the truck into a dual tank system? Do you have any advice on what and how? Ideally, I would like to put a 30, 40 gallon , or two 20 gallon tanks under the bed.
Thanks,
Christopher

You might like to look at a 40 gallon install I did on my own F-100. Details are on my web site at:

Say laptop.......what size tank is that, 35g? And you got it for $200? I'd like to know where from because I need to do this myself and that would be the cheapest I've ever seen. Thanks.

That's "officially" a 39 gallon tank but I can stuff 40 gallons even when filling the filler tube, too...
It's from jcwhitless and corp. I have a tendency to round-things-off....the tank was $219.00. Still not bad considering that now I only have to fill up TWICE a week!....

Howdy Scot,
The extension actually comes WITH the kit and it is copper (or perhaps brass <??>).....you use one of those flame-thrower jobberdoos that plumbers use to repair water pipes with to braze the original pickup back together after whacking it in half. Works like a charm.... the kit from JC Whitless also comes with the electrical connectors you need and a handy-dandy instruction manual.
