It would for sure. The aim here was not only building with what I had on hand, but overall, keeping the cart as "short" as possible. In an ideal world, I think the axle would be directly under the tank, but that would have raised the whole thing up quite a bit. As it stands now, what I lose in mobility, I gain in "once its in place, it doesn't want to roll/move"
