As Dan suggested you can fab up a twin filler using the existing filler neck. 80 series will work but they have quite a large valve splitter that require a lever to determine which tank you will fill.You may be limitted for space to fit this system. 100 series and I think some Prado have a factory ...

I fitted a Prado tank to the rear of my hilux. Used 100 series dual filler neck. 80 series solenoids for tank switching. The fuel gauge I set up to read only the tank that is in use. Still have to fit Prado Bash plate. This mod gives you 90 extra litres. http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118 ...

I wouldn't worry to much.

That's what they get with extra weight and up size in tyres.

The 1kz-te is not as good on fuel as some may say.

I reckon you would be doing great if 550KM is acheived on a standard
vehicle (Dual Cab 66liters)

Get the ratios from a 2003 turbo.

These will cut the RPM down for a V8
