I've seen a couple with standard hilux tanks fitted on the left hand side. The exhaust has to be shifted outside the chassis.
Patrol tank might be easier to fit.
Allways been a TOYOTA man.
Now I'm old and grumpy as well.

Is there anyway to fit a standard hilux tank on the opposite side and keep the exhaust under the chassis? i have a spare tank and its too wet to go take a look myself at the moment..

Ive got a standard tank mounted opposite but the exhaust has been moved outside the chasis, as far as i can see there is no other position for the exhaust to me mounted.

Guys if your after some DIY tips check out this site:
http://www.toyotasurf.asn.au/techsite/body.htm There are 3 types of home made tanks in there using patrol/jackaroo tanks. even though it's for surf/4runner it may be similar mounting for standard hilux's. I've got the patrol tank in mine and it works really well.

Cheers
Dan.
