In a sierra?

You'll have to lift it atleast 100mm so that the filler neck clears the top of the chassis rail. This means chopping out your floor in the back.

As for moving it back.....not without a chassis extension. Its hard up against the rear crossmember.

Just buy or make a tank guard. Its far less work.

I run a 2" body lift with a 2" tank lift. The tank sits hard against the left chassis rail. There is plenty of room to fit a hose off the inlet.

Here's the link I have to agree with the tank guard its much easier and some have to get exhaust moved.

Well unless the OP has a B/L, the point is moot.

If you were stuffing around with the tank mounts etc, you may aswell fit a larger tank from another vehicle. Atleast you will gain something for all your efforts.

Doesn't look like I actually took any photos of it in place... But to give you an idea, this is what was fitted in there

But yes, without a body lift this would not work. I didnt really have a choice, with the suspension in the rear i couldn't use the stock location.
