Who makes/sells a diesel fuel tank for a '98 Hilux (LN172H) that replaces the spare tire (underneath the bed)??

I looked through Long Range and ARB catalog and I see replacement tanks but not one that replaces the spare.

What is the 1998 LN172H diesel tank capacity?
I did some googling, but the closest I could find was that my tank is either 65 or 69 or 76 liters.
I drove on a highway trip yesterday until the gauge was hovering on empty for about ten miles, then got nervous and filled the tank to the brim with 17.4 gallons.
My '92 US configured XCab with 22re, 5 speed MT - basically the same body config as my later year Hilux, had a 19 gallon tank. I am assuming that since I made it to almost 18 gallons without any issues, that the tank is probably 19+ gallons. I don't want to run out of fuel as that is hard on the high pressure pump (it needs the fuel to lubricate it).
It would be good to know what the capacity is, including actual "usable" fuel.
I would like to get Brown Davis 120L tank, but so far have not found any USA dealers.
I thought about a tank to replace the spare tire, but decided against that after watching a YT vid where the owner of a late model Toy fit his over sized spare tire in the stock location, and why he did it (because he felt the swing out could break).
So I think I want the spare tire in its stock location instead of a rear carrier.

All I can find is a part# 77001-3D911. I searched google and find a few sites that sell it or show it, but no info on capacity
