Couldn't you get some sort of bladder to put inside? Fuelsafe.com may have something for you.

I finished up the lexan rear window installation. I don't know the exact weight savings, but its a good amount. The diet is going good I'm estimating 110 pounds removed so far between the lexan, battery move, front and rear brakes, and new tank with much less fuel.








The next photo is all the stuff I removed for the battery relocation. It shaved off 19.5 pounds!

I have a sealable fuel vent to seal the tank from air, to avoid moisture getting to the fuel. I also welded in a drain plug too, so I could drain the fuel for long term storage over the winter.

It's amazing how much weight is tied up in a battery relocation to the trunk. I know I saved 12lbs just in wiring when I relocated back to the front!
