I can see what is being said above, and I look at all these people building track cars and buying sparkly alloy tanks at silly money, then have no contigency plan for accidents.
In the world of rallying, if you dont use a bag tank, then the rules stiplulate your fuel cell/tank must be a tank within a tank, so have some sort of cover round it to prevent fuel spillage into the car in the event of a rupture of the tank, some way of directing the fuel out of the car, hence we have vent valves/rollover valves/drains to get the fuel outside the vehicle.

Alloy tanks are the worst for splitting under body flex let alone an accident, I have had this happen to me.

worth noting thats all.

nice car Marc - i bet the cost starts with a 5 by now lol
