I thought about doing that, but I’m not sure it would be acceptable. A call to NHRA tech office would be a good idea.

Used the relocating Moroso rear spring hangers, and the welded new sides to the narrower stock tank. First thing was to flush the empty tank with water, several times . Then cut the ends off with a jig saw, leaving as much water in as possible. No room for fumes = no explosion The opened tank would still sit outside for a few days, before tig welding the sides on. In this case though, I'd just buy a piece of sheet metal and tech screw it down. No need to make a production out of this ;-)

Neighbor of mine used the exhaust method to clear a slightly larger tank.. They burried him four days later. Fire and/or sparks near gas fumes can be deadly.
