Martin,

Not at present. I ordered Daerr's catalog to find some more details.

Another idea is to use separate filler necks, like it is usual for the water tanks which are on same place and of same design. To get the fuel into the main tank you only need to have a regular fuel hose which is connected to the return line of the original installation.

I don't know about these, but there are water tanks made of PVC which will resist Diesel. But they are not certified to carry fuel at all.
