Making a filler tube from the factory gas hole to the cell wouldn't be too bad once you got it figured out, but there are a lot of bed and cell combinations.

Not sure how many guys have thought of this, but the factory plastic tank is actually pretty dang tough. I don't know how much I would trust a rear mount fuel cell in a hard rear end accident.

If anyone would be interested in one for the stock location that is pretty doable and unique, but you come to the suspension limiting part unless you are ok with giving up some capacity.
I agree on the rear accident thing. That is why i switched back to the stocker. I have thought about having a cell built but in stainless instead of aluminum. Slightly strong incase you get rear ended but alot heavier.

What are you looking for in one?
What do you not like about your current one?
Where do you want it to fit?
What capacity do you want?
Internal or external pumps?

For me, I already have a drop in triple 450 setup so I would like to keep the stock basket in play.

That said, rear mount and under bed, between the rails. Would like it to be 15-20 gallons and use stock sending unit mounted at rear of cell with fuel fill cap on drivers side.

I would love to have it fill from stock location but figure that's long shot and then some.

I will see what I can think up this weekend for a cell, will be a while before I have anything though. How much would you guys be willing to pay for something like this?


I have an idea for the filler hose, but there will be some assembly required on your part with routing it from the tank to the filler neck. Basically a kit with hoses, tubes, and clamps.


Dan, shoot me your mailing address and I will send you some stickers!


I got a new email set up, so if anyone needs anything, feel free to shoot me an email at atomicfandp@gmail.com as that will be the fastest way to get in touch with me. I am going to work on the website this weekend so be on the lookout for that as well!

Depending on fitment and options, I think 8-1000 if it uses the stock fill point would be a seller. I'm sure many people are like me and don't want to cut up the bed.
