I absolutly agree with that so what difference does it make where the tank(s) go, I spoke to some one who was concerned about the lack of a crumple zone on the rear and he decided to buy an MX5 instead. The foam that goes in the tank is that not to stop fuel 'slosh'? Given the size and shape of the fuel tank if it's been made with baffles it should be the strongest fabricated part of the car in theory?

At least one person on here has mounted his tank above the diff on the rear suspension frame. I cant see how you could get much safer than that. The downside is that it raises the centre of gravity.
