Default Trunk mounted meth set ups. Need some ideas

Need to mount a small meth tank and pump in the truck of my 83 cutty. Any body have a similar set up? I just don't want to drill a bunch of holes in the trunk. Need to fig out some kind of bracket set up. Ideas?

I put a bend in a piece of 16 ga steel and mounted my tank and pump to it. All wiring is behind through a weatherpack connector. It's a 3 quart tank. Two holes is all into the trunk floor.

Yes that looks perfect. That is the same set up I'm using .Is that free standing? Just mounted to the trunk? Did you buy the solinoid?

Yah, it's free standing. The 16 ga is pretty thick. I'm not using the solenoid, but I also haven't run the kit yet either. My car's currently on E85. I'll be running it once I switch to a lesser ethanol content fuel.

I found this 2 gallon tank and breathable cap at US Plastics website under $35.00. They have a lot to choose from and the design docs available for all specs. I'll post the link here but it might be removed by an admin. Good luck!
