A fuel tank like this is illegal to use in Canada and the USA and probably
most places in the world.  There is not allowed to be any fuel tank in front
of the front axle for crash safety reasons.

Subject: auxiliary gas tank - did I dream this?

Hey All

Sanity check here. As I grow older I tend to remember things that didnt
actually happen. Very sad really. I used to be as sharp as a cows nose. Now
I am as blunt as a boxcar. Is there such a thing as a custom stainless steel
gas tank that fits in the spare tire carrier up front? I seem to remember
(or at least imagine remembering) seeing one of these buried in the deep
recesses of someones web site. This is not the type that fits inside the
spare itself in the hub area, the 15" model made for beemer I recall seeing
a few days ago.

90 MV or did I imagine that part too?
