Wow, I just seen the price on that fuel tank! I'd love to be able to 
carry 20+ gallons as it would sure help my '87 automatic Vanagon have a 
lot longer cruising range, at 18-19 mpg that 16 gallons goes by pretty 
quick. Someone else I noticed had a extra 12 gallon tank to use in 
addition to the 16 gallon one, but it was pretty expensive too.
