I've got a Mazda E2000 motorhome (started life as a LWB flat-bed) and I'm looking to get an auxilliary fuel
tank installed before heading off on a big trip around Oz :-) The thing is, I'm struggling to find anybody locally (
Brisbane) who can / will fit one.
The nearest I got was ARB and Opposite Lock who said there was a
tank for this vehicle but not to fit a pre-1992 model. Does anybody know of a
tank for this model or a generic one that can be fitted?
My last resort is to build a bracket underneath the van to carry a couple of jerry cans but I'd rather not do this if possible.
Cheers.

There is lots of room under the chassis - the motorhome skin hangs down over the chassis but apart from the spare wheel there is plenty of room underneath. We have a waste
water tank behind the main fuel
tank and the house electrics are on the other side. But I think we should be able to mount another
tank back there.
Where abouts are you? The Ford Econovan and the Mazda are basically one and the same aren't they?

The van's out getting some welding done just now so I can't measure but I'd appreciate the pics and I'll check it at the weekend.
