The fuel tank is probably better where it is. My reason is its not hanging rear of the back axle. So even when full, it doesnt change the center of gravity of the car by as much as it would if it was behind the rear axle.

Also, as it emptys when driving, the weight change will be less noticeable in the way the car handles.

The lower and more centeral you can get the tank, the better as far a handleing goes. Really, if you can get centre of the tank to coincide with the centre of gravity of the car would be ideal.

My 2c worth...

Craig.
