Years ago there were side tanks available from South Africa. The tanks
fit between the frame rail and the side of the van, on either side
underneath. These were stainless steel and could be used for either fuel
or water, 10+ gallons.  Recently a guy in South Africa started making
them again as well as some slightly different ones for people who want
more capacity and a more practical shape. There was a group buy kind of
deal on the Syncro list several months ago. The guy has access to some
ship containers that come to the US with other stuff in them but with
some room left for these to go as well to economize on shipping costs.
Since they arrived in a container meant for another business separate
arrangements need to be made to pick them up and that is what is
happening here. I don't know if the guy is still taking orders or not. I
got mine!
