Hi Robert,

Greasecar sells SVO tanks that fit in spare tire areas:
http://www.greasecar.com/product_detail.cfm?prodID=17
They are intended for vegitable oil and would be expesnive because of
the various modifications (cooling hoses, etc.) built in. Not sure if
they would be safe for gasoline.

I've also seen donut propane tanks that would fit up front (freeing up
the stock propane tank location for a second saddle tank (fist would
be under the sliding door - I have one of these maybe this spring I
will get around to installing it).
