A big problem with the first front mounted fuel tank had to do with it being right behind the radiator. When the engine got up to operating temp, the hot air coming from the radiator hit the bottom of the fuel tank and on several occasions, cause the fuel in the tank to boil. So just before taking on the project of replacing the front suspension, I ordered a new custom size fuel cell from Fuel Safe. For the most part, this task was pretty straight forward. I ordered the tank and the required hose and fittings, and used an external fuel pump positioned below the level of the tank bottom. Moving the tank to the rear also made it necessary to re-route the exhaust system which up until then had the two mufflers stacked right where the fuel cell was going to be located. So I added a couple of Borla stainless steel mufflers to the list of parts coming in.
