Sprinter auxiliary fuel tanks???

Anybody know where I can get auxiliary tanks for my Sprinter? It's a 2006 290CDI (Dodge 3500) with the dually 1T axles.

All my searches have ended in vain and I really would like to squeeze more than 370 miles between fill ups. It looks like there's lots of room between the chassis rails.

Any ideas or suggestions please.

RE: Sprinter auxiliary fuel tanks???

Answering my own question...

I joined the yahoo sprintervan group and found a link to a french company:

http://www.acgb.fr/english/showroom.htm

Use the pull down to view the replacement tank they offer for sprinters, looks cool huh?

Now if they would just answer my e-mail...

Maybe if everyone who looks at this sent them a message asking for a tank, they'd ship a few to the states!

Try:

http://www.acgb.fr

looks pricey, especially with the weak dollar. Maybe a local outfit could fab up a baffled tank. I have seen some links on the Vanagon sites for generic marine and RV tanks that can be added between the chassis rails. Or maybe it was a P3 Gwagen topic?

I'll search around.

Here's one: http://www.boydwelding.com/?gclid=CNGT2K-Ego8CFRZHXgodIVwzwg

Bernd makes a Vanagon spare that could work well on a Sprinter: http://www.syncro-bernd-jaeger.de/ENGLISH/Spezialitaten/spezialitat...

Or a sand rail tank (not as good): http://www.hotrodsusa.com/store/tanks.html

A Sprinter maybe in my future for a new business venture
