To properly relocate it inside, you have to use an aluminum fuel cell with a rubber bladder inside. Even then, you'll have to install a firewall to make it legal for road use and vent the compartment. What you really need is a substantial bash plate.

Skid plates are fine and dandy i already have one but i want the clearance to. And snow doesn't like skid plates.

And i need a new tank either way so it's either a new factory one and a better skid plate or a relocation.
