A concrete mixer vehicle includes a chassis having a frame member extending in a generally-horizontal direction, an engine, a drum drive transmission coupled to a drum, a drum pedestal having a lower portion coupled to the frame member and an upper portion coupled to the drum drive transmission, and a CNG tank configured to provide fuel to the engine. The CNG tank is positioned in a generally-vertical orientation relative to the frame member. The CNG tank has a length and a width measured along and across the generally-horizontal direction, respectively, and a height measured along a central axis. The height is greater than both the width and the length, and the height and the central axis are disposed in the generally-vertical direction. A lower end of the CNG tank is coupled to the drum pedestal, and an upper end of the CNG tank is coupled to the drum drive transmission.
