Tank relocation with filler behind bumper.

1955 F100.


I see plenty of under bed tank relocations.
Anyone on here use a tank with a rear filler and cut a hole in the center of the rear cross beam and have the filler just between the bumper and bed.
In no way wanting the filler in or under the bed.


Really just need to know what tank might work best with a rear filler and mechanical fuel pump.
Thanks to all.

Found pic of front of tank but none of back. I messaged him and requested more pics.

saw one years ago at the Supernats. He made a little flap door that dropped down under the tailgate. He said filling the tank was very slow since the pipe was almost horizontal.. Lots of flow back. but it was cute !

RRF,
Rather than cut a hole in the bed, why not just make one of the bed wood boards the fuel door, similar to this:
