Depending upon the nature of your trailer, I recommend either tire straps that go over the top of the tires (along the tread). This requires a trailer with holes in the bed of the trailer that the straps' hooks can go into so the straps are inline with the tires (I have a 30-year old Brian...

You don't need a difference in height, you just need a pipe of sufficient diameter. Eventually the two tanks will level off, you either need patience or a diameter larger pipe. The Lotus Europa has a pair of fuel tanks, one on each side of the car, located behind the seats. Each tank has a...

I asked a "large transport company" I've used before. They could do it, but I'd be paying for exclusive use of the entire truck for the event which would not be cheap (unless I could find other people coming from New England). If I can find a place to store the car for a week or two before and...
