Here's an interesting question, as part of my project I may eventually have a folding soft top which I would want to be concealed under the rear deck when folded down, I suspect the wouldn't be quite enough room in the parcel shelf area for it, so I was thinking of re-locating the fuel tank to allow for a deeper parcel shelf. One option is to fit a tank in the bottom of the boot, similar to the estate conversions. However this would reduce boot space and make it a little more dangerous in a rear end collision.
The other option is to fit the tank under the rear seats, which is the norm with modern cars, however most of these are FWD so don't have a big prop-shaft to worry about. However I was thinking 3/5 series BMW tank might do the job.
Anybody ever considered this before ?
