It can not go in the center because there is a diff there. LoL The tank is literally 5mm off the sides of the diff cradle. It im impossible to go any more central without also going FWD.
The opposite side of the fuel cell will most likely have the drysump resivoir which will help offset the fuel wieght. (30 L of fuel when full, and 5kgs of fuel cell, it isnt that much wieght) The drysump resivoir will be about 10-12L of oil plus tank. And the exhaust runs down the left side of the tunnel in that location aswell. Which will again further help to offset any wieght. Plus muffler which is at the rear left corner usually and actually has substantial wieght to it. It will proabably be pretty equal minus driver at that stage.
Im not too concerened with the fuel cell location not being dead central. As it is basically hard up against the diff anyways. The only way to shift it more central is to raise up above the diff. Which then raises the CoG ever so slightly.
