I have a custom made job in my rig. Goes under the passenger and drivers seats. Holds about 100 litres. It is fairly rectangular but has a cut out section near the gear shifter.

I will take a couple of pics tomorrow for you.

I don't think mine has baffles.

Edit: In fact I will be getting rid of it soon as I intend to use my rig more for comps now, so I don't need 100 ltrs of fuel at any given time

Was in the rig when I bought it. The guy I bought it off made it.

my 74 model has 2 tanks in it. one under each front seat.

the passenger one isnt hooked up, has anyone got any ideas on whats the best way to do it?
is it better to hook them up together or get a switch system and run them seperately?

only had it a couple of months so not sure what to do?

atleast with twin tanks both front passengers can be blown up together.
1 tank= discrimination against the driver i think!
