Default 2nd Fuel Tank?

So anybody hear about a 2nd fuel tank for the 2 doors?? i'm tired of filling up so often i rather spend alot of money every 2 weeks intesd of once a week and at 2.99 a gal a fill up is about 45 bucks per week (OUCH!!!!!!!) so yeah i'm crazy enough to drop 90 bucks if it means less time at the pump per week

Well, on my 4-door, I have thought about relocating my EVAP to behind the gas tank, relocating the muffler to where the EVAP is now and then converting the storage tub under the cargo area into an auxillary tank. Don't know how to pull it off yet but that was the thought anyway

I was thinking the same thing. I don't really use the storage trunk. You could probably fit a 15 gallon fuel or water tank no problem. I think TransFlow makes custom fuel tanks.

Man, I'd be happy with 10 extra gallons but 15?! That would be awesome

Well, depeding on how it were done, I was thinking you could leave the storage lid in place and when you fill up, you would just open up your tailgate, lift open the lid and go.

I think I recently read about an Australian company marketing a 2nd fuel tank that basically mirrored the stock tank in the area where the evap canister is located.

Also it sits kinda low (seems even worse than the stock tank). I've heard that they are coming out with a gas version, however.
