Part of the reason I'm having a new 92 liter (24 U.S. gallons) tank built to replace my 55 liter (14 U.S. gallons) tank.

Other reasons to replace it include: a) a nearly horizontal Mustang filler neck that wasn't properly vented; b) an elbow made from an exhaust elbow and, in the process, significantly reduced in cross section; c) the tank was a b***h to fill - probably due to the filler neck and elbow; and d) the vertical, rectangular lump was pretty much in the middle of the trunk. FWIW, I'm also convinced the flex connections were made with radiator hose, not proper fuel hose. I was told otherwise, but there weren't any legible markings and the trunk always had a persistent fuel smell.
