Ok, this idea might be out there, but has anybody ever thought about building carbon fiber fuel tanks for their RV? Is this feasible? I got the idea from watching a video on building the hood of a car out of carbon fiber using moulds.
I thought that you could make a mould from a built tank. This would allow one to get the exact shape of the skin, then install the ribs, guts, then the back of tank?
I figure that since the tank is screwed in place that this could be possible. I imagine that it would be a stretch to do the outboard lead edge since it is riveted in place. Talk about a leak free tanks.
Would this be completely crazy? I know that there would/could be some W/B issues.
