Default Fuel tank with low mounted plug?

hey guys,

is there a company that makes fuel tanks with low mounted (instead of center mounted) main plugs? im trying to get it one of these instead of having to lower my tank mount, which would require major mods of my showtime 50.

any info would be sweet.

thanks!

How about one that is above the centerline? Sullivan makes those.

re-position the vent tube inside and install it upside down ?

Dirt Doctor,

would that help having the plug above the center line? i would assume since the fuel has to travel up it may help my situation.

airbike,

installing the vent upside down would make it impossible to fuel. i actually did that by accident when i first installed my tank. go about 1/4 a tank in before it pee'd out the muffler.

The one for the H9 Funtana X (old one) will sit pretty low if you mount it upside down.
