safe fuel tanks

With all the discussion on here about safe seat mounting it brings up my biggest concern, safe fuel tanks. Whats everybody doing about safely carring fuel in these gt40 kit cars.

Re: safe fuel tanks

Jay, it appears that Fran Hall has quite a bit of experience building kit cars. Why don't you contact him to see what his latest technology on that subject is?
