fuel tank question

Post by KEVINABR »

Can any one tell me if there are any diference between fuel tanks mounted between the chassis please.
The reason why im asking is that my tank has the main inlet pipe is situated to the front of the tank and not on the top.
I believe this may be to clear the spare wheel holder which is situated across the chassis behind the cab.
Will post a pic when i can.
