5 gallon add-on tank for Rabbit

Years ago, the JC Whitney catalog listed a 5 gallon aux fuel tank that installed in place of the spare tire on the Rabbit. I can't find it on the JC Whitney website.

Does anyone know if the tank is still made, and who carries it?

Look around the WVO conversion sites, they have tanks like that.

Something I've wondered about doing myself, having only a puny 10 US gallon (40 L) tank in my current and previous A1s. Even with good MPG, the range is not very great, barely 300 miles. In the case of my '83 rocco, the full-size spare was changed to compact around 1985, permitting a much bigger fuel tank. Is there any way one of those larger tanks could be retro-fitted into my '83? And is there an alternative (and safe) way to add up to 5 gallon capacity? BTW what's 'WVO'? TIA, H2Only
