Subject:Gas tank: sell or make into aux. tank-How??

Hi all,
        I've seen something on this before but couldn't find it on the
archives.  I have an extra gas tank from an '84 vanagon that is in really
nice shape that I grabbed in case mine was bad.  Well, mine is fine so I'm
wondering if I should sell it or install it into my '86 Westy as a
auxilliary tank but don't know how much of an undertaking this would be.  If
it is a matter of welding up some of the holes, bolting it under the van and
running some fuel line I can handle that but if I have to run all kinds of
breather lines, move stuff under the van, etc. I think I'd avoid it.  I
would say I wouldn't mind extra fuel capacity for my month trip out West
this Summer and wonder if I should consider some other sort of tank as an
auxilliary source.  ANy insight would be welcome.

Thanks,
Eric
