Yeah , there is a hump in the boot floor , just so i could mount a decent sized (depth wise) tank up under the boot floor .

The tank worked out to be roughly 70 litres .

Si,
Do us (me) a favour. Route your injector/sensor wiring underneath the whole inlet. You have loads of length on them to do it that way. Makes it SO much neater. Also, put the earth on a bottom corner.


All in my opinion of course.


But get it done eh!!! lolol.
