OK. Take a large blob of really hot plastic of suitable type (one of
them gasproof shatterproof polyethenoids), place it in a suitable
position under the van, insert a long hose and attach a politician to
the free end. Whoosh! Instant form-fitting tank. You need only drill
it for filler, gauge sender and feed/return lines.

You could substitute Terry Kay for the politician.
