RE: Passing the gas...

[Mark Nelson <mnelson@brls.com>]

Remember that the fuel cell and all of the related components ARE
actually sitting inside the cockpit of the car.  It's not like most cars
where the tank is actually in the trunk or under the car.  If you ever
take a look, you'll notice that you have easy access to the filler, the
tank, and all the other components directly under the carpet in the rear
cargo area.  I should know, since I just tore (OK not literally <g>) the
tank out of my car last weekend.  Isn't it cool, us lucky coupe owners
get to sit right in the same vicinity as the fuel tank.:-)

Best Regards,

Mark Nelson
