Ill have to see, maybe your doing it wrong, I already put the tank upside down with 5 gallons in it and no leaks. Thanks for the heads up.:thumb:
Fuel Cell Installed

He's not wrong Brian. Sloshing fuel is different that flipping your tank upside down. It's not going to spill everywhere but there will be noticeable wet diesel spots
It will be just fine
The ball floats, so if fuel tried to come back up the vent, it shuts. when fuel drops back down, vent opens.
Brian, unless your rollover vent is different then mine, they definitely don't float. Before I changed my setup I had fuel coming out of the vent and mine was setup identically to yours.
oh i see how it is dick head
Yeah me to. And I've been trying to get that point across since the thread started
I just ran a extended piece of -8 up the inside of the bed rail and mounted a filter at the top.
Got everything routed/installed, put 5 gals in it and drove to fuel station, broke the cap with the nozzle.
no sloshing out of the vent , but got home and put a 3' looped 1/2" line on it in case it did.
Also going to put a ground wire on one of the mounting bolts this weekend.

Well maybe I'll have a project for this winter now. Thanks for nothing guys!
I am looking at putting in a 32 gallon however because I'm not too worried about weight. :thumb:

Depends on who you ask!
according to Summit they are "fuel cells"! :thumb:
Anything to help get a little more weight over the back tires.
Weighed the truck today.
3580 front
2180 rear
5760lbs gross
15 gallons of fuel (3/4 tank)
This was with my 22's, so with the radials it will be right at 200 lbs lighter.
Based on my old weights, it looks like I moved 120lbs to the rear end. Good enough for me.
