Default Alternative Tank?

Does anyone know if there are any other larger tanks out there that will fit the VTR? One of my buddies told me that the european tank is 18L, but I havent been able to prove that.... What about the 51 tank? Doesnt seem like it'd fit, but maybe one of you guys has tried? This mod would be better than strapping a jerry can to my back... Although it would be soft to slide on if I bailed... Thanks dudes.

There are two other possible alternatives, both are carbon fiber and a bit pricey... One is www.Kiyowatanabe.com, he is in Burbank, Ca. and the other is www.eti-fuelcel.com, he is is Westlake Village, Ca.

Kiyo is doing a custom rebuild engine for me, and I saw his tanks as well as his other CF parts, all high quality stuff..... His tank is 6+ gals. The Westlake CF tank guy, who lives a few mins from me, make a 5+ gal tank, which he says is 1/2 the weight of a stock tank.... I plan on getting one of these after my engine rebuild is done... If you haven't completed a conversion by the time I get my new CF tank, I will post up some pics and info if you want....
