Default Gas Tank Swap

I'm getting a new gas tank for my ej1 ex model and I'm wondering if a smaller vx tank will bolt up without and problems? Is the weight difference from the 11.9gallon to the 10 gallon worth it?

IMHO no. You'll have to fill up noticeably more.

P.S. Sorry about those jackstands.

Yeh he knows whats up the jackstand put a nice hole in the tank due to a small mudslide haha. I'm kinda a weight freak. I never put anymore then $10-15 bucks in my gas tank at a time anyway. The weight I was looking to save wasn't from the less gas I put in the car but more the weight savings in the weight of the metal tank itself.

good to pump less gas for less weight when racing or else long driving
