Hey everybody,
Some food for thought over the long weekend.
Is it just me..........or does the "piecemeal" fuel tank setup on the
later Alpines and (all) Tigers make anyone else nervous ??
I mean, the way the setup is now, it's just seems too vunerable to
rear/ left rear / right rear impacts. I personally think I'd feel
better if the fuel tank was tucked away from the extremeties of the
car.
Has anybody on the list ever replaced the fuel tanks on these cars
with something a little more modern and potentially safer ?
A fuel cell maybe.
I'd be interested in doing something like that with the following
constraints:
1) Fuel capacity would be greater than or equal to the present
capacity.
2) A sending unit could be mounted that would operate the stock fuel
gauge.
3) It didn't reduce the overall trunk capacity. ( Reconfigure is ok,
just not reduce. ) And still be able to carry a spare tire.
4) Fuel filler would be accessable without opening the trunk.
Yeah, I know. A tough list to fulfill to be sure. But.......hey....
It never hurts to ask.
