Fuel Tank replacement

[cooppat]

That's good advice I'm looking for a new tank now, the old tank had the fill hole about 39" down the tank almost inline with the hose, does the new tank need the fill in the same location, or can it be further back on the tank most tanks I have seen have them towards the rear, does this matter will it create trapped fuel in the line? Has anyone read this link about installing an aluminum fuel tank?
