Increased Fuel Capacity ?
I am trying to find a way that i can carry more fuel other than jerry cans. I want to either upgrade to a 120L gas tank or add a second reserve tank to get to 120L...if anyone has any ideas or information on how this can be done that would be great. Thanks.

before I decided to just relocate my fuel tank to where the spare tire is, I had planned on adding a second tank. I'd use a stock fuel pump assembly and wire a relay to turn on, pumping fuel to the main tank, when the low fuel indicator came on. Filling the tank was easy to figure out, the filler hard line has a bend in it, at this point I'd weld in a "Y", so when you can fuel up both tanks at the same time, this also help keeping them pressurized as well. I may still do a variant of this design, so I can will have a 30 galllon capacity.

Perhaps you can get one of these to work without too much trouble. I have the Tacoma version and love it.

The filler goes in the left, rear wheel well. You can see it in the inset of the this photo.

Downey talks about how to use the aux tank as a replacement for main tank. I think the 2nd gen 20 gallon aux tank would be a good relocating tank for 2nd and 3rd gens wanting to do a custom link setup.
