Default Anyone Relocated Bottles/Tanks To Inside Their Car?

As above, has anyone re-located their bottles and tanks to the interior somewhere? Got any pictures?

Are there any you can't move or would have problems doing so?

Cheers

What bottles/tanks are you thinking of? I REALLY wouldn't want an expansion tank blowing its cap seal if it was sat right next to me! For simple safety reasons you would want it in an enclosure of some sort.

a said above though, it's fully enclosed.

As many of them as possible if it were feasible.

I was thinking inside an enclosure in the boot

The expansion tank has to be at the highest point in the system though, so you would need to mount it high in the boot.

Seen dry sump tanks in boots before, Can't say I've ever seen anything else though, Why would you want to?

as said though, if you do make sure its enclosed.

Thought it'd be a bit different, and help keep the engine bay smooth and uncluttered
