i was thinking either to buy a tank from another car or van or truck of some sort that will fit to an area under the van and connect that up or CAK tanks to get a plastic one brought it or to have a steel , stainless steel one formed

still have not decided yet

first up on the list is metal work to the underneath and under seal first,

after that i shall see what size my tank is then i shall try to find the mythical 100 or is it 120l or is it unicorn horn tank i have been told exists for the mk6 and after that

we shall start to see what we can fit after the other tanks and boxes have been installed.

for now i was considering making a shape from polystyrene to get the size and shapes wanted and then seeing what they costs are

i have at home a larger amount of white diesel and just want to take as much with me as possible rather than jerry cans in the back of the van.

i seam to have a lot of leaky jerry cans, lol
