What about a very flat tank with a shock mount on the tank itself?

If I had the ability to make a fuel tank this would have been done weeks ago but yes, that idea would be one way to solve the problem

Then make a brass tank with solder!

That's a lotta work! Hahaha yeah it crossed my mind tho. I actually found an old Perfect metal tank that I was tempted to chop up and add a chicken hopper

Dude! This totally rocks!!! I need to check in around here more often. You plan on running it? I would build a brass tank it's really not hard to do.

There may be some ideas you could borrow from the TRC RC10L Gas Conversion. I wish i had a better photo.

I have no idea who makes the parts I've got, but I've got some nitro 10L conversion parts that came with a big mix of 10L spare parts I just got. I'm thinking he's past this point already, but it's pretty much just the rear pod/axle parts, looks like enough to do 2 pods give or take.

They left the tank offset too, so as the fuel level goes down you change tweak. Mine is the same way in current form

Run one tank slightly higher off the chassis than the other. pull fuel from the low tank to the carb. Car would only be slightly unbalanced. If the fuel transfer tube exits on the opposite side of the tank, fuel would always be in the lower tank during cornering.

Here is a very simple drawing of what i'm talking about.

Still would be off balance as it runs out tho, I wouldn't gain anything unless it could pull from both equally. I'll get back to this project at some point, and it will get a central mounted tank to get rid of the balance issue altogether
