I’m building a Rans S21 and the battery is located behind the seats in the baggage area. As per standard practice I installed the contactor (relay) next to the battery. But this places it right next to the header fuel tank. Although this is an aluminum tank it still concerns me that I have a “live” electrical device next to 6 gals of avgas. Am I being overly worried?

As long as that battery box is securely bolted down so that it will not
break loose in a crash, then there is nothing to worry about.
