Wow that's huge! Must cost a small fortune to fill it!

Is it safe in a rear end collision?

depending on what model he got, it is probably safer than a stock gas tank :)

i am sure its strong, but i mean with crush zones, etc.

Nice work,

I had a fabricator build it to fit....kinda. He made the sump part a little too wide and I had to cut out more than I wanted to. I am having the fabricator tin over the bottom (with aluminum) where the tank sticks down. That should clean it up and provide an extra skid plate. :)

As for safety...it is aluminum, so no sparks when crushed. There is also a fire wall so hopefully I don't become a human shish-kabob on the steering wheel should there be a fire.

Fire wall and tank cost 650. They installed the fire wall and I installed the tank.
