Re: gas tank move
The main problem I've heard people talk about has been the location of the filler neck. The other problems I've read about are fuel pump type, venting, wiring and the looks of a fuel tank hanging on the back side. One person mentioned he didn't like the possibility of being rear ended with a tank full of fuel on the rear.
I've contemplated it but always decide to just leave it where it is. I figure it's been there for 40 plus years without any problems so far. Some people don't like the idea of a fuel tank behind the seat, but to me, it's safer than behind the rear axle. Plus, if it has a leak, I can smell it a lot quicker.
Some of the pro's are that you don't have fuel smell if the one you have is unvented and added weight moved to the rear axles.
