Hagerty never asked about fuel tank position. BTW, every Porsche with a mid or rear engine has a fuel tank forward of the humans.
That is a very good point about Porsche's.
Here is what I am thinking about doing, the Pink box as 15"x14"x6" I easily have enough room to go to 8" deep and a few inched wider but mot much along the lines of longer as I don't want it too close to the engine and block the radiator airflow. I should be able to fit an 8 gallon tank in that space. That is probably the strongest part of the chassis too, but may be an issue in a head on collision. It should be very easy to make a mounting bracket and that will also add more rigidity to the front end.
