I'm looking for long neck tank ideas.
I have a hole in the top of my rear pax fender where the antenna used to go. I'd like to put some sort of 1 gallon plastic gas can back there with the neck sticking a bit out of that hole for easy filling. My trunk lid is held down with hood pins and it would be a pain to open it up every day to check water levels, etc. Anyone have some ideas for me?

Actually, that isn't a horrible idea. I'm sure I could get a plug of some sort to fit that hole. The only problem is that I want my tank on the other side of the trunk BUT I could run some tubing over to it. Your joke has given me some ideas <G> ...

I want to keep the tank by the battery for weight distribution BUT I wouldn't have a problem filling from the passenger side. I still kind of like the thought of using that hole in the fender for something.

I've heard many opinions on this but most racers say that it is more important to corner weight vs move towards the center. At one point I thought of moving the battery to where the pax seat once was but they say that is the wrong way to distribute the weight.

That's a pretty good idea for my next car. I've never seen anyone do that and it would be pretty unique. This one, however, doesn't have a release or a gas lid. They are both long gone...
