Mighty tas rolla Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 hi everybody i am wondering on if anyone has a ke70 khana cross or rally car as i am thinking of building one but i know the tank is hanging out the bottom of the car and don't want to put a whole in it how hard would it be to adapt a ke30 or 55 tank into the boot??

love ke70 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 i really doubt you would have an issue. and if your really worried get a fuel cell in the boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty tas rolla Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 ok how much would one cost?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyota_ae71 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 heyy yes i run my ke70 in khanacross/motorkhana/autocross trust me mate you wont have a problem with putting a hole in your tank because the mudflaps have to be like 100mm-150mm (10cm-15cm) from the ground!! plus you would have to be goin majour off road to hit the tank on the ground etc etc!!

Medicine_Man Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 If you are doing rally I would advise putting a fuel cell or tank in the boot.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styler Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 or put a shield over it, like a square section of 2mm sheet steel with brackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 But then you are adding more weight, Not really what you want in a rally car. Fuel cell in the boot under the parcel shelf will bring the weight over the axel too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 But then you have to weigh up a lower polar moment of inertia with a higher CoG. Personally I think you're better off keeping the fuel tank low and behind the rear axle. Moving it to a position directly above the rear axle is a very significant increase in CoG but only a small decrease in polar moment. Ideally you'd mount it on the floor behind the driver but thats not legal or safe in anyones book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty tas rolla Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 now that i think about it i will leave it there and make a guard because of Cog factor thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
