Thanks Michael

Yes it is now rather crowded!!

Now I know the gen, if I ever swap to a fabricated tank I will be able to specify better tank connection locations than what was on the GF tank and which I just had to work to. Not saying they are bad but they did limit options.

No it is the angle, I've made certain that there are adequate clearances so that I don't get rubbing and an eventual spill/leak. Hate to have a firey back end one day, that wouldn't be good!

Once the tank is located there is bugger all room rearwards from the frame holding the diff., about a 20 - 25mm gap I think, so there was limited capability to instal a sub-frame, just more space consumed.

I've also put this together in a way to try and help accessibility after the event, in case of malfunction, to reduce the amount of bits that need to be detached off the body when I want to remove this again and as previously said to keep the boot as clear as possible for odour free/space gains.

I could have slotted a number of items higher up above the diff. on the body, but access and attachment to the body panel is compromised.

Like most ideas I gained initial inspiration from pics posted of someone elses exact same set up - so no real wheel re-invention here.

Cheers
