gas tank

I have a 1989 Ford E series with a fleetwood tioga motorhome on top. It comes standard with a 22 gallon gas tank and I am presently trying to add a tank or increase the size or the tank. Adding a tank does not seem feasible. I wonder if I can replace standard 22 gallon with a larger tank. It is a behind the rear axle tank. dimensions are 33 1/2"x22 1/2"x11 1/8" . Looks like I could drop down to 15"or 16" in the height.

Do they make a replacement tank that bigger?

Any response or help would be greatly appreciated. I want to get on the road. If you could even steer me in the right direction it woud be great.

Thank you


big steve

northwest metal products lists a 43 gal replacement for the rear tank on 75-91 vans, but it's $$$. http://www.nwmp.com/search.asp

www.jcw.com sells them, one thing I would consider is protecting the dropped down tank with a tow hitch/skid plate so if a small car rear ends you you do not end up splitting the tank. Like a Dodge.
