 Oh, stop the bus!
        The 67.5 tank is that size- the 68 is ever so slightly different!  (I
 don't suppose it would matter for fitting a fuel cell- they're REALLY
 close).  But it sure made getting the 67.5 tank into the 68 a royal
 pain!  As did fitting the return line...  so add this to your list of
 "went metric" parts...   >>

The roadster tank sure is a little on the shallow side! Most of the fuel 
cells I've been looking at are at least 8"...going up to abotu 10-11" in 
depth. Figure in the sump, and things won't look too good back there. (My 
back up light actually just dragged on the ground as my car was pulled up on 
a flat-bed tow truck...so I can't imagine what would happen with a fuel cell 
that hung below it!)
