heres the fuel cell i made..i bought a sheet of 12ga steel and had my cousin bend it on a brake at his work...its 13"x13"x33" so its actually 23 gallons i think instead of the stock 22...lined it with POR15s tank sealer and had it sprayed with amerigaurd truck bed liner...im gonna have a ring made for the pump but right now its just got washers holding it down....

and my slam he7 with a bubble in it...ive had one do this before on the same side..i dunno what caused it, no rubbing, it is on the exhaust side which makes me think the heat is causing it...on my other truck the exhaust was pointing at the bag but on this one i have turndowns about 1.5' from it...i dunno...slam specialties said they have like 1 in 500 do it

niice pics man, i just had my third bag do that (except the bubble popped, yet the bag still holds air). Mine also had no rubbing. the first two were replaced for free from slam, and i still need to call about my new one.

it was both sides that did it, so one on the exhaust side and one on the side with no exhaust, no i have true duals and only the pass side did it.
