Jeesus ... that reminds me of Mauricio from the film Shallow Hal.
Refused to go out with the supermodel because one of her toes was a different size

Life's too short, think positive

I think this has a standard tank.
I know of some guys on the MLR site that did it in an Evo and they fitted a second tank in the boot with a valve between it and the main tank.

They would run the car almost dry then if they needed to then they'd flick a switch to syphon the fuel from the top tank without having to stop.

They also had a custom ECU so they could switch maps to allow them to run safely on crap fuel while jaunting across eastern Europe.

because it wouldnt last 5 minutes! the guy who owns it drives like hes played 1 too many rally games on his playstation! hes already trashed 1 set of shocks, taken the heads off the front subframe bolts and dented up 2 exhaust systems! Hes a friend and have been in the car quiet a few times with him and it scares the life out of me!
