It's the "frame rail" type. If I added three more it would still be less than 80 gallons as my tank is a 19 gal tank. So with that said, if I added four more tanks, and just for a visual say I piggy backed them under the first four tanks. If my math is right that would be 152 gal.
I would look at a fuel bladder type of thing. But to be able to get that on the cheap whole other story.
I know you said that you nixed the 150 gal idea. It just started to wonder just how big it would actually be.
Yeah I did the math on that to, I was looking at picking up a tank that was 24"x24"x46" It would hold about 110 gallons.

I would love a fuel bladder system, but damn those things are expensive. If you got a way to get one at a reasonable price I'd love to hear it.
