I like their aircraft style filler caps. They would make adding the front filler port easier than using parts harvested from 2wd Vanagons. I have one on my Landrover Tomcat. The downside is they are several hundred dollar$. There are similar products from Summit Racing etc. for 1/4 the price. But the design is more than 3/4 inferior. :( Another one to chalk up in the "you get what you pay for list".

The most recent itineration of the SA stainless steel tank is around $475 plus mounting and shipping. On a group buy, you are probably looking at less than $600-$650 for everything and less prone to impact damage as plastic tanks.
