That explains why the guys who raced my older IROC car moved the tank into the boot instead of on the original mountings in the cockpit. Is this a recent thing as I am sure I have seen tanks uncovered, did'nt Rob have an uncovered one in his Belmont, all seems a tad OTT to me and if you had a crash with enough force to rupture the tank I am sure a bit of lightweight alloy around it will do sod all.
