My car is in this weekend to have a 4 gallon tank made that will allow for the long 28 minute races.The tank
will have the capability to be reduced in size by a gallon for the shorter races by adding displacement balls
to one section. When the next long distance race appears, the balls can be removed and extra capacity
recreated.



The tank is positioned on the rear bulkhead for a number of reasons. Firstly it is in a safer place than
the normal book position, secondly it helps with weight distribution and finally it reduces hign speed
understeer.



The target price will be less than £100 per unit ( capacity balls will be extra).

The picture below shows my current 2 gallon set up.
