Well, no is the short answer as my car is still in the early stages of being built!

Initially I had considered just a secondary tank, with a tap. I.e. main tank goes low, pull over, flick the tap and let the secondary tank empty into the main one, hey presto - more range.

Thinking it through - there are plenty of pitfalls - i'm mainly thinking that if I get the tank sizes/heights wrong gravity will cause overflows if it isn't carefully thought through, but this will limit the size of the secondary tank, negating it's effectiveness.....

Mainly I am thinking that when it's built and I cruise down to the French Riviera in it I won't want to stop every 150 miles. Perhaps i'll have a different opinion once i've driven one!!
