Anything is possible
When I lived in Canada I carried a 5g gas can. Which held 7.5g US. I hardly ever bought Canadian fuel
You would think there is room on the right side. I mean there are right drive Sprinters, fuel tank on right side. Right behind what would be the fuel door on the right, is all the holes for the hose's and such. I thought about it. Use a three way value to switch between tanks.
Here's a 17.5 gallon auxiliary tank: http://sprinterstore.com/specialty_parts.htm
Adding an additional tank is expensive, but a few have done it. I met one Canadian who had a 55-gallon drum inside his Sprinter that he used as his aux tank. Had it mounted right behind the passenger seat, and then connected through the floor to his OE tank. He had a filler pipe connected to it and filled both tanks at once from the passenger side of the vehicle. He very rarely fueled in Canada.
Holy smokes that's hardcore lol
Dean keep in mind the Can. Gallon is almost 4.5 Litres where as the US is 3.8...and then the Loonie has dropped in price and the currency service charges to convert..... My old Can 5G gas can held almost 7.5 US Gallons..everything down here in the US is smaller....LOL
