If you kept the stock tank, and got a 2nd custom one made up for where the rear muffler goes, that would be better.
Jimnys are not a long distance 4wd touring car... unlike a pootrol and cruiser...

How much room is there around the OEM tank? Its infront of the rear axle isn't it? |

you'll have to custom one, and Im pretty sure you'll have to re-route the exhaust, can't look though as mines at the shop. |

sucks that no one makes them, i would love one, as long as id didnt jeopardise the ground clearance too much. i do some fairly big trips in my jimny and get sick of carrying 2 jerrys and stopping every 300 km to put them in, |

Another thing to add to your list... 
Nobody else makes them. The exhaust would have to be changed...maybe come straight through rather than the bend just before muffler. |

Correct.. I'm not a fan of the idea of putting one up the back, the rear muffler is there cause it's the only available spot for it.. In a raised Jim a long range is possible but would be a squeeze, you have to take into account that the drive shaft still need's room to travel up, so to the diff.. I've seen many a damaged tank from loaded 4by's on bumpy road's.. The more fuel you put in your tank the less stuff you can fit legally in the back, people forget this & still load up the rear as they always would + more cause the jerry's are gone, but the room around the diff has been greatly reduced.. |

You could remove the rear seats and raise the floor up a little to add the extra litreage ontop of the tank. - - No underbody alterationsbut a huge hassle. |

If you weren't into crawling and more into off road adventures a second tank where the muffler is would be OK. As Stek says there'd be a problem with space for the muffler. I've often wondered how well a Sierra tank would fit in that space. Would end up with 80 litres. |

Not enough room, not only the muffler but the pan hard live's there. |

The original tank would only be in the middle for international design rules. |

How many Jimny's would want a larger tank ? Is pre 2005 Jimny's original tank in exactly the same spot and exactly the same size / shape ? Is 20liters extra enough ? My mate builds race cars for a living - I asked him about it once ages ago but he said it would cost me about a grand and I said no way. |

Is there a reason the fuel filter is inside the tank. When I was talking to Terry (www.paramountperformance.com) to make one for me I was wanting to have just a normal fuel filter that you can pick up cheap and put it under the bonnet. |

You want the filter as close to the pump as possible. If there was room, I'd weld a filter clamp mount onto the outside if the tank to suit a vitara filter or similar. |
