For those of you willing to fabricate on to your gas tank, I see no reason to go so far as to just cut the tank in half and weld it shut to keep it that way... if you already have the tank cut in half, just add proper baffles and trap doors and then weld it back together and retain full tank volume.

Christ, maybe that's the best solution here... someone create a program where they offer modified steel tanks... if a core exchange is included, maybe it would be the cheapest and most effective fix to our problem???
