Is it possible to ask a question in a more vague way?
Do you want a larger tank?
Do you want an EFI tank?
Do you have a SWB or LWB?
Lots of tanks can and have been fitted to sierras over the years.
Christover had a Nissan 280C(?) tank in his LWB I've used all the vitara tanks; 40, 55, 75 Litre
Random long range tanks have been used
Why are you asking?
Steve.

thanks A Baleno tank will fit under a tray. They are ideal when fitting EFI to a trayback, and dirt cheap.

Ahh - with some more details it's much easier to help. This is a 75 litre GV tank installed behind the cab on a LWB tray back.      You can see it till fits under the stock tray mounts. Steve.

It's actually a tiny bit too wide - it had to be bashed in a bit on the sides to clear. I have the 55 litre version of the same tank in my car and had the same clearance issues - You can see where the tank sits here:   Mine sits a little higher than the one in the photos above - I had a suspension link I had to clear. These tanks will fit behind the rear axle as well in a tray back .

Custom I reckon.
There were/are up to 80 litre long range tanks for sierras.

Only pic I have ATM, but this is an 83L jackaroo EFI tank sitting snuggly between the rails of a LWB 1L trayback.
