Sorry about that.  The tank on my '90 Westfalia is also 30" long and 6"
diameter.  I really think that an 8" diameter tank will not fit without
both hanging down too far below the van.

I expect that a 36" long tank *will* fit, but only if it's extended 3" to
both the front and rear.  It won't extend much further in either direction.

A 7" diameter tank *may* fit.

I agree that this is a better size.  I don't think I would add an 8"
diameter tank to my van.
