I think they do not really come under the heading Bobtail

as they are more than not 90" or 110"

and yes i know they did 100" but never went into production so they do not count :?

Only thing i'l like to sort / sourse is a nice tidy fuel tank for the rear any one have a pics of what they have done?

Post by: iomlr on March 02, 2007, 14:18:57: right, i'm having trouble at the moment being able to buy a nice fitting fuel tank so it looks like i'm going to have to make one, also i will be running on gas so need to make room for my gas tank also, I dont have alot of room in the rear as i'd like to cater for rear seats (they'll be in and out as i off road but be nice to be able to use them if need be). So what i'm asking is to see what you have done with your fuel tanks in our crew of bob tailers. So could the "crew" members pls post pics of their fuel systems please?

Cheers in advance
