Hmmm, great photo. Can't comment yet. Sorry.

Yeah, bit close for my liking. I'd want 100mm clearance.

petrol needs a spark to ignite the fumes. I don't see it "boiling" the gas in the tank . Take it for a drive, does the tank get to hot to touch!. Plan b: give it to the wife to drive

You may be able to put a heat sheild between exhaust and petrol tank.

Not a problem,enough clearance for a metal tank.Will only get hot when running stationary,driving will have air cooling.

yeah thats what I thought michelle322! I will see how hot it gets, I might wrap the exhaust pipes with some header wrap too just in case!

Yep needs a shield of some sort.
it's not so much heat, but possible knocking together that may be more of a problem
Rattles/ heat/ metal sparks etc ,. oh yea & some heat issues
Any heat issues would be from sitting idling & constant around town driving
