[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1363150, member: 18625"] Interesting… I have a rear seat left over from my parting out of my '05 and I was thinking of experimenting with this same Aux. Tank build. Curious as to the mounting (?) Is it a mounting to the seat or through the seat? I believe the tank would be a No-Go for the IBR for at least 2 reasons: The mount (If it is a seat mount only) and the size (5 Gal. would put the fuel capacity over the Max.) But like you said it is a great solution for a quick On/Off Aux. fuel cell for personal use. I really like it! Could you post up and go into a little more detail about how the tank is secured to the seat? Looks like 4 cylinder tubes with bolts (?) Did you use a backing plate on the bottom of the seat? Or just washers? Looks like a back pad could be mounted to the cell with industrial strength velcro also. Very cool ! [/QUOTE]
