Aux. Fuel Tank behind stacks
 

ok as the title says i have stacks in my truck and want to put a 50 gal fuel tank or so between the stacks and the fron of the bed, if i did this would any problems arise due to heat with the stacks or should i be ok?

the plastic from the tank should insulateit pretty well... i wouldnt have it touching the stacks, but you should be fine.....let others chime in though

yeah i would keep a good 1-2in gap from the stacks, but you shouldnt have any problems the stacks only get to about 400 degrees and that shouldnt heat the diesel up enough to catch fire, and if they do thats what we have insurance for lol

mine is this way and its all good bro......................1-2 inch gap is good, the fuel can absorb alot of heat and it dont get hot at all

What's the worst that could happen?:ok1: I agree with everything the others have said.

Oh my god do you have any idea what you have just done? :argh: :argh:

I have personally seen, from a distance, someone weld a diesel tank that was 1/4 full. I doubt that him putting a tank by his stacks will jinx him that bad. :ok1:

I know of a couple guys that runnin a aux tank behind their stacks with no problems.

Oh I know far too well and have just about quenched metal in diesel before (Slag dropped into a small catch full)

But of course Murphy is reading this thread .... and like Chuck Norris ... He Lays in wait :hss:

I've seen a guy weld a leaking fuel tank on a scraper with fuel running out of the crack. Lots of fire but on explosion.
Do you think there would be extra evaporation with the heat? I'm wanting to cut down my fuel tank and make it fit with the stacks.
