I seem to recall a recent post by Mark Drillock on this subject, and from
his post it sounded like a MAJOR undertaking to mount a Syncro tank in a
2wd.  Something about the height of the engine and transmission, etc.

It is possible (with some shade-tree engineering) to mount the syncro tank
into the 2wd body. Further, there are after-market tank co.'s that make box
tanks that fit under you van floor. You could conceivably use un-used space
in the interior of the van for a LARGE tank, and drive cross the USA
non-stop. Maybe.

Has anyone adapted their fuel tank(s) so that you hold more than the
standard tank?   I am getting  about 250 a tank, and that just is not far
enough.  Any help is appreciated.
