Just saw this tank from Mid America. 15 gal for Beetle or Ghia 61' to 67', www.mamotorworks.com/acvw?frame=1.8634
All those German engineers, thousands of hours designing a perfect balance and they build something to put 44 lbs of unstable liquid above the center of gravity! Es hätte keinen Zweck :icon_cheesygrin:
Guess that tank gives you less trunk space?
Looks like it comes up higher than the usual tank, rather than lower...hard to tell though.....

Wow, this is scarry c23, because the 1st thing I did when I saw those tanks with the additional 5 gals was to take 5x8=40lbs of approx added weight. Then I asked myself why? s#r

Yup. Usefulness, Purpose....
"ya got no business doing that" or "thats like t!*'s on a bull"
literal is "it has no purpose"
Thanks. Don't see any real need for the big tank unless you are getting 10mpg on your car or live in an area where gas stations are far apart.
We put one in the babe rally bug. It had no tank and the bigger tank was the same price so it made sense for us. When you are doing 400-600 miles a day a few less gas stops is good.
Although an unfortunate "out of gas" moment made us realize it only held about 13 gallons not the advertised 15
