    5 gallons,,,,, for short trips only. With the price of gas, I can't afford more than that.

    yup....but before you ask :) I checked on shipping it once before and the cost was way crazy due to the fact that it had "fumes". :D
    It was cheaper for the person to buy a new one from Summit

    why do you need a welder simon. my 5 gallon fuel cell just bolted in. i cut the hump with a cut off wheel and used a bfh to push it down. the fuel cell sump fits right in and the fuel line comes right out the whole too. battery tray just bolts in. :)

    yeah the install is fairly straight forward. The only problem I had was I mounted mine to close to the back seat and those rear bolts were/are a PITA to get to :banghead:
