[Spaceships] Query: Collapsible Fuel Tanks
I'm trying to locate the Official rules for using collapsible fuel tanks in cargo holds to store extra fuel. I've used them often in my ship designs but I'm beginning to wonder where the original specifications came from. I vaguely remember there was some sort of limit on the gravitational acceleration they could take when loaded but I can't remember what it was. On ships with Gravitic Compensators this isn't an issue but on more primitive vessels it might be. I just want to track down the source with book name and page number.

Re: [Spaceships] Query: Collapsible Fuel Tanks
A brief bit of online searching indicates the option doesn't officially exist in 4e. I'll have to look at GURPS Classic: Vehicles to see if it makes an appearance there, but I do see from the preview that at least some rules for it are contained within GURPS Traveller Classic: Starships. I'd assume Eric B. Smith's optional rules for his design spreadsheet are adapted from 3e sources.
