Surge Tank Mounting Location

For those that have sure tanks, where are you mounting them? It seems that trunk is popular but latest NASA rules seem to indicate that's not OK, specifically...

Quote:
A single external (to the fuel tank or fuel cell) container that fuel is stored in, or moves through, (e.g. swirl pots, vent cans, surge tanks, etc.) may be used, and that container shall not have a capacity greater than 1.5 liter (0.4 gallons). The container must be constructed of metal with threaded fittings to stainless steel braided fuel hoses. It must be securely attached to the vehicle and separated from the driver's compartment by a separate bulkhead. Any container over 1.5 liters (0.4 gallons) is considered to be another fuel cell and subject to fuel cell requirements.
I would hate to go through the effort and expense of this to have it fail scrutineering.
