[FC] FC Fuel tank

[Merv Krull and or Loretta Prosser]

Take a look at almost any snowbird truck and you will find an extra tank 
mounted in the bed somewhere. My Father in law had one fit into the front 
end of the box, same height as the rails and only 4" wide. That orientation 
minimizes sucking air when down to the last gallon or two. With a flat tank 
built into a rampy, I would think that some kind of slope needs to be 
designed into the bottom along with sufficient baffles to make sure gas is 
always present at the outlet. Clarks 1/4" top plate idea is awesome. Still, 
like JR says, original is good.
have fun!
