This is an interesting idea.
Does it fit inside the flange on the top side front of the truck bed? That would add a couple inches of clearance.
Our new Ford F-350’s 3 inch longer bed than our old Dodge demands that we locate the N*Laredo about 4 inches to the rear so as not to damage the tail lights.
I could not find any definitive auto make application table.
If the tank is full it will move the center of gravity of the camper box forward- a good thing.
A 30 gallon tank would be ideal.
Now, would it work for a gasoline engine?
