Time has come for me to replace the old Tempo tanks I have beneath the RPS. I have a 12 and 6 gallon tank that sit on those rubber mats beneath the RPS. I know this issue has been discussed earlier on here, but I don't see any specific conclusion as to a 'best' answer.

It appears Moeller makes 2 12 gallon tanks... one is too wide to fit 2 below the seats and the other too high to put below the RPS without raising it. The 9 gallon models look too long to fit a pair beneath the RPS.

I've looked at the 15 and 26 gallon tanks... going to s single tank. But then I'm concerned about complications with the fuel line coming up through the factory opening under the RPS. I'd rather not drill a new hole.

So... that's my quandry. I'd appreciate any input others can offer. Thanks in advance... Mike
