Nice one i'll have to drop him a line at some point with some dimensions. Problem for me really is I should have put my roll bar braces farther out to make getting a tank in a bit easier. I was thinking of putting it above the diff cage but it'd have to be mega short to allow enough space on top for the filler neck in which case it wouldn't really hold much fuel.

These tanks for drag racers must tick most of the boxes and come in all shapes and sizes.

I am not so sure about the stuff for a tank. I thought f/g was banned for bike tanks but cant find anything on it, this is worth a read http://www.beyondfossilfuel.com/etha...ass_tanks.html

so under the IVA ruling, am i led to believe that the tank design in the book is unsatisfactory, or is it just a case of proving that the tank has been made to the book spec?
