So...what does a gallon of bio weigh? If I slapped a correct aluminum aux tank
in my trunk and filled it (26 gal) of bio, what would the weight be? Would I be
all saggy in the rear (the car you clowns). I hate the look of a saggy rear
(in my cars too).
Thanks

At 6 pounds per gallon it would weigh about the same as an adult size

26 gallons will we
Most liquids weigh approx 8# - close enough for planning purposes.
26 gal X 8 = 208#'s Your rearend might sag. ;-)

seem good.)
having the weight farther back makes the sa
the geometry involved seemed obvious to me (and you, apparently); but that
