i guess you could stick it out the back bumper somehow. Or just leave it in the same spot but run the piping in and out of the cab.

I installed the vit fuel tank, and run the filler pipe on top the chassis rail.
I only had a bit of rubbing of the guard with 32" pedes, so I chopped the guard so I could raise it 2" with the rest of the body.
WHats the true OD of the 33s your planning?

i moved the inlet on the tank to the top and ran it straight up through the floor, then made a different metal pipe to connect it to the filler

haha might try that. because i only have a 25mm body lift there isnt a great deal of room
to move the filler.

rubs the cover thing very easily, i am still working out what gets in the way. i still haven't flexed it properly yet but i can see that the filler is going to cause issues.
i would rather move things or chop them off before putting massive bumpstop spacers in.

do my trick - cable tie your digi cam under the chassis pointing at the offending part and go for a drive.... watch the vid then decide whats causing issues and fix =)

And failure using that method, there is the "that bit of metal that used to be painted and is now all shiney.. something must be touching it more method"

No paint and rusty, old problem. Ignore.
No paint and shiny, either fix the cause or repaint and ignore.
It's a tried and proven method of troubleshooting.
