new fuel tank!!

check out my gallery, i got my new fuel tank ive been working on installed tonight.

the pro's are: 30 gallons capacity versus 15
wont leak through vent when full
much more sturdy.....i can stand on it
it wont let water leak into the tank when it rains like my old cell did
and more bed space
I got it for free, and put 30 bucks into it
and lastly...it has a gauge on the side, and a water trap/drain on the bottom

the cons are: it is about 50 lbs heavier dry than my old fuel cell

Looks like a reefer fuel tank.

BTW, you really need to change the wording from the Aerostar to your truck.

Awesome, I dig it. Sure, lighter is better but I don't really mind a little extra weight since our pigs are so heavy anyways. Besides, that weights centered. Look good
