Fuel tank location??

[63chevyll]

Hey folks,

Im converting my old race truck into something i can run out in the eastern plains of CO, maybe even race it in a few 100 MI races. Depending what classes our track will have.

Currenty i have a 16Gallon fuel cell directly over my rear differential, it worked well for the circle track i was running on

Question:
Do most of you place the fuel cell In front, above or behind the rear differential for off road?

NOTE: My radiatior will end up in the rear behind the cab also to try and balance some weight out

thanks for reading

bump for any answer?

My cell is mounted directly behind the cab. Its mounted there instead of behind the axle because i didnt want a large weight difference that far out when the cell is full vs. when it is empty. It all comes down to personal preference and your cage design.
