Rightfully so. I'd be pissed too.
I don't understand the design of the fuel tank. I get it that it goes over the transmission, so there are two sides to the tank.
So how does fuel get from one side of the "saddle" to the other, anyway? I understand that cornering forces would drive fuel to one side or the other, potentially away from the fuel pickups. Does the fuel have some way of leveling back out, other than a hard turn the other way? Are there two fuel pickups; one on each side? Otherwise you could be driving around with fuel in one half and the other half empty, leading to wacko gauge readings and fuel starvation.
