The top angle is because of the angle of the trailer design. The length of the tail is 6 ft. and a few inches. In the NASA study somewhere I read that the ideal length is around 2 meters.
If it was a flat roof on the trailer, I would have came down differently, but it is not. I ran out of steel to do any more mods on the design and had to use what I had (mostly donated). I can't pasted the photos of the design that I used, but here is the link to the pdf file....

The next tank, I am going to take off the square piece on the end and run it open and see if that changes anything.
