Update: I was able to get a Moeller 12 High Above Deck Fuel Tank, 12 Gal. #630012LP to fit in the rear compartment of the RPS with some modification. Straps for tank restraints added, also, bunk material lines the floor wear the tank makes contact with the wood. The offset will accommodate a two gallon reserve gas container.
