I would be a little concerned that a fuel tank mounted where the spare tire used to live could be rather dangerous in a crash situation where the truck is hit hard in the rear. It could produce a large fiireball simular to the old Ford Pinto when rear ended. If you are intent on using that space, go for a Nascar style fuel cell so if it is impacted, it might keep you and your family safe. I'm not criticizing your idea, just trying to point out a possible hazard that could become deadly in the right combination of unfortuante incidents.
