Do you think the way the fuel tank is mounted it'll end up cracking from vibration? Regular straps would of supported it better? I'm just asking not criticizing.

Its a fair question.. It is rubber mounted between the tank and brackets to reduce vibration. Also, the entire tank was built in house, so the mounting tabs on the tank and the way they were incorporated into the tank housing and braced were fab'd with this specific hanger design in mind.
We feel this design will hold as well or better than straps and it looks much nicer. Ultimately, this is a test car and why we chose to use this particular design for this build. So that if something should be problematic, we can learn and change the design if need be, fairly quickly and easily.

It looks as it can be rotated down, leaving the back bolts in, to get to the sender??
You would not have to drop / support / balance the whole tank to get to the sender / pump if there was a problem.
I like it!!
