Re: relocate gas tank
not sure about putting it in the middle, as the exhaust comes down the other side, but with a bit of cutting and welding of brackets im sure its possible. Regarding full skid plate there are a couple that have done them, but you really have to make them either easily removable or so one side drops down other wise it becomes a nice little shelf to hold lots of lovely wet mud.

Re: relocate gas tank
Personally unless you have to move it out of the way to relocate something else I would make a guard and leave it in the stock location. There's not really anywhere else apart from in the back and all that ends up doing is taking up storage space. Only other option is a custom made tank underneath.

Re: relocate gas tank
I'm with Scottie, make a guard for the stock tank.
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Re: relocate gas tank
If you made your own guard you could maybe put a rubber seal around the top of it to sit up against the tank, it would keep most of the mud out
