Fuel Cells or extended range tanks

Does anyone have a source for a replacement fuel tank or fuel cell that can be Installed in place of the current gas tanks or between the frame rail where the spare tire sits?

19 gallons is not enough for a vehicle that gets ~10mpg off road.

I have a 2 inch body lift and it looks like a 8-10 inch deep cell could fit between the frame in the back. Or a deeper stock tank.

Having a larger tank or 2nd tank would be preferable to gas cans on the roof of rear bumper.

Thanks

I have seen a pathfinder tank installed in that location on an X on some forum. Not sure whose X it was, but it has and can be been done.

The Xterra's tank is the same 21gal that the Pathfinder is , so where is the advantage?

I've been thinking about getting a poly fuel cell from Summit Racing with the deminsions of 25"x25"x 9" which would be 22gals. That would mount in the factory spare tire location and double the range with no visible change to the vehicle and no spare gas cans.

using the pathfinder tank as an additional tank in the former spare tire area Is what I was referring to. if he kept his X tank and had the pathy tank as well he would double his capacity.

If I remember right, Gen 1s hold 19.4 gallons (according to the manual). 21 gallons on the Gen 2s then? I know my low fuel light comes on after it's sucked down exactly 16 gallons, leaving me basically 3.4 gallons left.
