I'm pretty thick skinned, I can take it just as well as I can dish it out.
My '46 tank is under the seat, my '50 tank is behind the seat.. I don't smell gas in either one, unless I happen to spill some on me while filling it up.
I read somewhere somebody didn't like the sound of gas "sloshing" around in the tank, but i'd be hard pressed to hear any sloshing in the '46 with the tranny geared as low as it is!
