    Can some of you guys post some pix of there f30 fuel tank install on the driver side. I have looked at all the post for fuel tanks, but only seen a few but it was from the pass side. I'm worried that my exhaust might get in the way. Thanks.

    Looks like that left pipe just squeaks past the tank.

    F-30 is 19 gal. the old tank was a 12 gal. Less stops to the gas station now. :) Still waiting on the sending unit to show up in the mail, then out to burn the streets up again just in time for spring.
