Default How to modify your petrol tank?

The problem is:

I need more space for backseat cos i want my rear passangers to travel in comfort, with a bit more space for their feet.

So the backseat needs to move back.

This means that the petrol tank needs to be modified,

how do i do it?

what's the safest way,...
I would rather modify the existing one cos a racing tank would take up more space, and won't have a good enough capacity.

If there are any tanks that can be mounted under the car, in place of the sparewheel i would like to know.

Thanks in advance!

Like the buy a bigger car comment

I don't really want that as i don't like bigger cars in terms of looks, handeling and parking.

Noone has ever modified a petrol tank?

So nobody had to modify there tank yet because of rust, ICE,..?

Might consider going two seater modus but i' ve been a sucker for a passenger seat for so many years i know sooo many peeps who don't own cars, that i really want to try and sort it out.

Most likely suspension parts will ruin my fun at the end of the day
While i might have consdierd cutting up a petrol tank i won't be touching no suspension arms or chassisstructure for that matare.

Thanks for the help
