Re: Removing the fuel tank.....

Oh wait, Maybe I could cut the decal in half just above the "or" and then put usable gallons on the bottom of the top half of the decal. would that make it legal? I would make sure the two would not touch so you could see they were separate or maybe I should put a black line on the bottom ...
