30-40 gallon fuel tank for 97 GC Limited

I've searched the threads but haven't found an aftermarket supplier of long range fuel tanks for a 97 JGC Limited which is used for towing.
Does one exist?

I would expect it would need to go in the existing tank space plus vertically into the cargo area with the spare needing to be remounted horizontally. Other option is a secondary 20 gallon fuel cell in the cargo area, but I haven't seen one made for a 97 ZJ.

The real problem is finding out if they're legal. To my knowledge, DOT doesn't approve of them in street legal vehicles.
