Inboard fuel tank?

Hi lads, I'm looking for some advise on people's inboard fuel tanks they've got fitted to there ribs? I've got a old searider and want to balance out the weight by having a fitted fuel tank up at the bow, any perticular tank to go for? Thanks

If you are thinking underfloor, there's not much volume up front, the usual searider accessory for that purpose is a bag of sand

Mines the duck looking thing, deluxe I think it's called! So has a covered area up front under the dash :-)

Then if the area is just open, just a normal can will suffice, fitting a fuel tank is pricey for a custom build. imho

I was going to do that, but I'd like to wire up the Yamaha fuel guage to a tank so I can see how much fuel I have, can you get portable fuel tanks with a proper sender built in? That would be the simplest way
