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

when i throw 20 gallons (4 x 5 Gallon carboys)of B100 in the trunk and

passenger in the back seat. (FWIW, the shocks are fairly new, and springs
seem good.)
having the weight farther back makes the
the geometry involved seemed obvious to me (and you, apparently); but that
