That toroidal tank looks pretty cool. I had never even heard of those before!

I know that some of the dual-tank "Grease-Cars" used oil tanks that were designed to fit in the spare tire well. I always thought that was a nice use of space.

(EDIT)
ARGGGG!!!!
It's too darn cold outside!!! Well below freezing. I have no basement and an unheated garage. I can see daylight through the walls. NOT a good situation for working on a hybrid car!

I can't hook propane hoses up any more. The hose is too stiff in the cold to be able to get connected or disconnected!
