Several years ago Bill Kaspar (sp?) did a group purchase of South
African parts. Among those parts was a gas tank designed to fit in the
space below the sliding door, with the filler in the stock 2WD
location (it is intended for syncros that have the filler in the
rear), and an expansion tank in the drivers side wheel well. I've had
mine at least four years and it has never made it high enough on the
"to do" list to get installed.
