The one where the spare tire goes would not hold as much fuel as the stock location. What would the smallest capacity you would like to see there? The stock laction we probably can increase it's volume.

i bet you get 20 gallons at least. of course mine a little different being a tahoe. its pretty short from axle to bumper. but i could do a triangulated 4 link if my tank was out of the way. hmmmmmm.

i dont want to put any more fuel in my truck. last time i filled up was like 96dollars...**** just with the two tanks would be more. if im thinking right you would do a small 10gallan or so tank were the tire would go and keep the stock 25gal tank. now would you use a stock pump and mod. for the stock tank and run lines to the new tank. then the big mangnafuel 750 comes in right. that just sounds like a lot. and it would be bad if some one rearended you!
what is wrong with just making a tank that would go in the stock loc.?

One or the other option depending on what someone is doing with the truck. I do not see a need for both at the same time if we are already building a tank, build for the needs at hand.
I would build your the tank to go into the stock location. We could build it to hold more fuel IF you or someone wanted that option.

I would be interested to see what you come up with for a cell in the spare tire location. Something in the 15-20gal range would be great. I have been thinking of doing this for quite some time, just haven't gotten around to it due to other issues with the truck. I would be glad take some measurements and discuss some ideas if you decide to persue a design on this.

lol, having more or less fuel isnt going to change your mileage. If you dont want to spend 96 bucks dont fill it up.
