The reasons for relocating the gas tank are several:
A) Smell of gas fumes due to leaking filler neck or sending unit gasket
B) Need room for speakers, subwoofer, amplifier etc.
C) Cosmetic. Most rodders have installed bucket seats which exposes more of
the area behind the seats.
A) is obviously repairable. The other reasons are felt by many to override
any possible safety concerns.
