It wasn't particularly heavy even though he put a couple of baffles inside. I easily fitted it myself without assistance. He even allowed for the expansion of the tank when full of petrol.
The only change I would have made would have been to put the filler at the top of the tank rather than the bottom. I put a one way valve in the (massive) breather pipe to stop fuel spewing out of it when filled up but it would only allow me to put a third of a tank in (valve since removed).
