Hi All

I'm afraid its more "silly" questions from me!, looking up various PPG models, and saw one with a high mounted fuel tank, is that really a safe option?

Seems to me that any leak is going to ignite on the hot engine below!

Cheers

Yes- an old debate.

The lower tanks are more popular nowadays, but thats mainly down to weight and balance.

The risk of fuel ingniting on a hot engine due to high tank leeking is negligable- petrol vapour needs a flame or spark to ignite.
