Rear strut brace w/ long range fuel tank?

[Ray Smoodiver]

Has anyone seen / is running a brace with the long range fuel tank that sits in the trunk?

I'd like a rear brace, but would like to keep my extra tank if possible.

Why do you want a rear brace? The rear end really doesn't flex that much, and in the unlikely event that it did flex, the rear shock towers have no effect on suspension geometry. So there is no benefit to having a rear strut bar.

Do you have the BMW extended fuel tank or some thing else? I have Alpina and Hartge extended fuel tanks with strut bars in my cars.

Do you have pics of extended fuel tank?

Overflow is up top beside the float sensor, and drains back to the overflow tank in the rh wheel well.

It fills from the bottom - the filler neck splits in two and goes to the bottom of the aux tank and the main fuel tank, which leads me to believe that the aux tank just drains into the main tank, so it empties before the main tank does (gravity).

Capacity is 15L.

I can measure the distance of my strut bar from the rear seat back when I get home if no one else does it before me.

I think a Hartge or AC Schnitzer strut bar could fit around the BMW extended fuel tank.
