bow fuel tank in a 12ft tinny.good idea??

[paz]

i've got a 12ft alleycraft tinny and am in the process of freeing up usable space thats now unusable cause the way it was set-up by previous owner,,it has a casting deck up the front that under it i plan to stow lifejackets and stuff,,but what im thinking of doing is making an aluminium fuel tank that will fit right up the very front point(bow),,most likely 25-30L size,,this way where the old tank now sits i can put a live well set-up..this boat will only ever be used in a river or dam...
so what i want to know is ???,,,,mounting the tank where i want to will this make the boat to unstable due to the weight being up high,,or are there any other possible reasons as to why its a bad idea...i do relise that this will shift weight forward,,but that can be overcome by moving other things which i plan to do as well..
thanks in advance
