Thanks for the response, I agree. I can see that some 50+ people read the initial post and didn't comment. That makes me wonder if people just don't care, or just aren't willing to lift a finger.
I'd like for riders to give their opinions on what size the perfect tank would be. Also, at what point does the tank get in the way of peddaling? The manufactures are asking me "exactly what size and shape do you want, we can make anything"
The tanks I'm looking at are all "tunnel tanks" which means that they fit over the top bar and hang down on both sides of it. I'll go find some pictures and links.

Yes I'd love a good tank that wrapped itself over the top tube and fastened on really well. I like the tanks on those Derringer bikes and they are a stock tank that must come from somewhere. Get those for me and I'll buy 6 to start withbut they need to fit Schwinn cruisers and Felt Cruisers top tubes, I mounf my tanks on very dense rubber foam sticky strips to give them firmer support on curved top tubes and prevent leaks from overtightening the tank clamps. Works really well but the tanks aren't good enough and sit up too high as has been said.
