Hello everyone! I have a 1984 outrage that needs a new fuel tank. I was wondering what the experts think about filling the fuel tank area with lithium ion batteries and a electric motor similar to the tesla sports car. The web site says the motor weighs only 115 pounds. It doesn't say how much the batteries weigh. What would be the max weight that the belly of the outrage could safely handle? Does anybody know anyone (websites) who has ever tried or thought about something like this? Thanks,James
