It is true that some bike frames do rely on the tank for structural strength. Tiger Cubs were a bit suspect off road without a steel tank. We used to but a brace up in the tank tunnel as a stiffener when using the bike for trials with alloy tanks. Some of the real trick Cubs had an oil tank under the tank acting as a brace.

How does that work?
