My gas tank has a leak above the petcock. At this point it seems the way to repair the leak is to remove the tank and seal it. not an impossible job but kind of a pain...

My other option would be to relocate the tank and either go with a 32 tank or try and install a tank / tanks under the chassis.

To me it seems a bit easier to relocate the tank. Also, I like the idea of moving the fuel system to the outside of the passenger area. I want to take my wife and two small sons for rides in the car and I don't love the idea of having the gas in the dash...

I know the focus of this forum is originallity and resotration but I would appreciate any ideas on this.... has anyone else relocated the gas tank??

Thanks gents!
