How Much Does a Tank of Gas Weigh?
This may seem like a weird question, but how much does a full tank of gas weigh?

I think gas weighs about 9# or 9.5# a gallon.So it would be135 to 142.5 +/-.

Also, that weight is low and directly over your rear tires so that is not a bad place for it....

Specific gravity of gasoline is .739 kg/L *3.78L/gal * 2.205lb/kg * 15 gal = 92.4 lb
