Thread: Followed Me Home II

Well Rodger,

Just my humble opinion, but that gas tank in the stock position looks vulnerable to me, especially polypropylene without a real bumper. I suggest a call to "Dave" at Rock Valley in Illinois, phone 615-645-2271. I sent them a mock up of my gas tank made from card board folded up and they made me a beautiful stainless steel tank which fit perfectly in 14 gauge.
They sent me a picture of one of their tanks in only 16 gauge which had been hit and dented to half it's width without bursting so that gave me confidence in my 14 gauge tank. Possibly they could make a tank in 12 gauge if you want. My tank was about $600 five years ago and maybe '32 tanks are already in stock. Then you could put the plastic cover over it and have the trunk space with more safety; especially since you said you were previously rear-ended twice before.
