1 litre of fuel weighs about .8kg so a 40 litre tank weighs 32kg, 60 litre weighs 48kg and 80 litres weighs 64kg. Keep it low (drop tank) and it shouldn’t hurt distribution too much on full/empty tanks.

Interesting to note that a lot of the front mid-mount European GT’s are aiming for a slightly rear balanced 45/55 ratio. There seem to be a lot of transaxles going in to cars these days as well and if you go with an automatic like the new Nissan GTR you don’t have the problems with long linkages that they had in the past.
