    Just an FYI, MTS makes a plastic tank with the filler neck angled correctly for a passenger side underseat tank. Get a filler indention or whatever they are called, remove toolbox, drill holes in floor for the fuel lines, and plumb in. You will also need to build or modify the seat brackets.

    Pretty much what Nick said is the process. Just have to come up with some sort of hold down strap and a fuel gauge set up.
    I use a basic 2 tank selector valve mounted between the seats to select which tank I run, usually the downhill one if I'm off road.

    I'm thinking the 56 unless I buy this 68 near me. I'd try and use my 2a tank if the neck is back far enough to clear the door.

    If you end up with a 68, it may have a fuel return line that can be another matter to deal with.
