Fuel tank in the front 'crumple zone' right next to the battery.  :o  brave!

as per Spirit team.

Do agree with you about the ´safety´.

To does move the fuel tank forward has a drawback because the fuel level change will have WAY more effect on the handling then at the central OEM location. A smaller capacity rubber bladder, filled with explosafe or such, in the original position is imo best.

With the advent of featherweight LiFe batteries I think the same about thát. The involved cables to move it forward will imo be more of a weight cost than moving the 800 gramms forward brings in handling.

Splitting hairs though about an imo awesome build.
