Not sure if I'm reading that tank picture right, but it looks like you are bolting it in from the bottom which means that you're not able to use the flange of the tank to carry its weight and the weight of the fuel. Am I seeing that right? If that's the case, then you only have the surface area of the heads of the bolts holding it up and that would concern me. Can you bolt it up with some flat or angle stock that spans the length of the flange?
