you can fit an Aux tank under the drivers seat along chassis
you can buy a twin filler that fits in the same hole.

places like arb & tjm sell 2nd tanks for the gqs, id suggest that u go there for at least a look at there set up & then descide how u wanna do yours,
could u go to the wreckers & steal the set up of a GU?

A typical Long Range tank is fitted with the original tank being removed
Do you mean you have a 2nd tank in it now
Unless damaged, I'm confused on why your chasing a standard tank!

You can get aftermarket arms that will clear the tank.
Hobzee sells them.

i mean there is a non standard 70ltr tank installed under the driver side seats and the rear standard 95ltr tank has been removed for a lpg tank under the rear of the car
i want to get rid of the lpg tank and put a standard tank back in and keep the other tank giving me 165 ltr but will need to have a filler out let for the extra tank

I did the same on my GQ.
Removed Gas.
Fitted STD Tank again.
Bought a complete Filling Kit from Long Range Automotive that included Filler, Transfer Pump etc.
Bought a new Sender unit from Nissan.
Aux Tank pumps back into Main Tank. Old Gas swith on gas switches pump on and switches Dash Gauge to Aux Tank.
Works well.
