I *think* that an R80ST tank (which are not so common) would also fit.   Are you looking for more fuel capacity, or?

I'm looking for more fuel capacity and twin taps mainly. I also have the chance off picking up a cheap 1991 R80RT tank.

It was an easy(er) search for me, because I knew we had discussed it recently.  No biggie.
