    LOL. I won't matter at all mate. A gas tank has some pretty damn thick steel walls. A bit of bass won't hurt it.

    It depends on the manufacturer but I hear LPG tanks are up to 8mm thick steel. A bit of noise vibration won't hurt it. Hell country road driving would create more vibrations.

    there is going to be zero problem at all, gas tanks are designed to survive a crash so i don't think a bit of bass is going to do a lot.
    no issue

    Should be fine mate...they wouldnt put the gas tanks in a car if they can't take abit of abuse..
    Unless there is fine print somewhere sayin "do expose to excessive low frequencies" lol
    Im sure if googled or searched this forum there would be someone else with a gas tank and subs

    You will be fine :P the gas tank is designed to hold up to a bigger beating than that.. But your boot isn't, so make sure you get rid of all the rattles with your boot lol
