Hmmm, you could put it in a bin, but thats kinda close to the driver, or have skinny one made to put in the spare tire well, but thats very unsafe if another car rearends you or you spin and hit a wall.
I'm assuming this is for a race car?

dont put it in your car unless it is a serious track car. some states its illegal to have fuel parts in the car. i dont have a second gen but the tank i have fits right on the frame rail by the rear end in my first gen, its a perfect spot.

Well, when i'm low on fuel, i get pretty bad fuel surge. Even just accelerating hard will cause this. I plan to club race the car, so i don't want to have any troubles. I've also noticed that external high volume pumps are cheaper than in tank ones (here in Australia anyway), so i thought i could kill two birds with one stone (surge tank and new pump).

The tassie devil is a small animal, about the size of a cat (but like a little ball of muscle ). It's basically a scavenger, and wont kill living animals unless it has to. Apparently it's jaws are the strongest of any animal in the world (relative to size), I think anyway. Just a bit of trivia Oh and it's not a dog
