Has anyone worked with fuel cells? Have fuel cell mounted in my bed can I just run the vent out the top of it have the line make a 180 and go down through the bed or does it need more bends? It has rollover ball valve inside tank on this vent output..

shouldn't have any problems running it just the way you said. make sure you secure it to the bed floor where it passes through, so you don't have any problems with it coming back up through the bed floor, and potentially spelling fuel into the bed.

Is there a reason why you chose the middle of the floor? Looks like an after thought and will be a pita to fill :shrug:

Looks like a shortbed, so the filler is close to the rear. A lot of people run a fuel cell right over the axle for better weight distribution and traction.
