[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1479377, member: 17493"] I have seen guys take a heat gun and "mold" the stock plastic tank so it has a relief for the diff to clear. Whats wrong with STEEL? I am very nervous when it comes to wheeling (contact sport) and aluminum gas tanks. I run into trees, I drive on junk cars, I do dumb things and I dont want an aluminum can for a gas tank in a rig that can destroy it. Guys will weld up DIY beadlocks like nothing, but will avoid making a tank out for sheet metal like its the plague. Just make one. You will keep more loot in your shop in the form of labor, he will save some loot and have a better product when done. I have built several steel tanks from scratch and they all have worked great and fit EXACTLY like I wanted then to. Im no master fabber or tig welder, but I have no problem making an old gas tank.
