Gas tank clearance question
ok, i am installing a box for the system that is going in the trunk of my car. my question is that the box came with wood self tapping screws. thats suppose to secure the wood to the metal frame so it doesnt move... my question is how much space is left between the sheet metal and the gas tank itself???
i ask because the box needs to be secured and also because the screws that came with it are 2 inches long... is it safe to use??
Thansk a lot!

There is a decent amount of clearance, but not a lot. You really need to get under the car and size things up first - the fuel tank is one problem, there's also fuel lines, brake lines, parking brake cables, etc. all under there. Or, see if there's a better way to secure the box in place.
