Auxiliary Fuel Tanks!

Hey i am on the hunt on creating a design for a auxiliary tank for an hdj81. Now it doesnt matter if its for another 80.
I am trying to find a good homemade tank design that works good.
I am going to be doing a wvo conversion. What do you guys have for auxiliary tanks?

After a research in Venezuela .. it looks the 70 series factory tanks are a good option to be used and instaled in a 80 series as aux tank ..

There are a bunch of other suv's on the road that have rear tanks that will fit in the spare tire location with a little fab work to make the bracketry. Isuzu Troopers, Jeep libertys, etc. That's how I'm leaning for my aux tank project.
