Default options for fuel tanks

just wondering what different options i have for a new fuel tank mine is pretty much shot. I was thinking of getting a fuel cell with an external pump but didnt know which ones would fit and still allow me to fill it in the stock location?

We did this as part of my solid rear project, but my car has been back halved so we had a lot of room.

We put a 15 gallon fuel cell w/ external Aeromotive pump, A1000.

I would think a 15 gallon would work but I'm really not sure. I doubt much bigger than that would work because they are not "long" like the stock tank (I'm not sure if someone sells them longer as opposed to mostly square like most I've seen).

If you are wanting to make big power one day this is the only way to go, otherwise I'd keep the stock fuel system.

I was thinking of a 15 gallon but the only long ones i can find the filler neck is not centered and i dont know if it will allow me to keep it in the stock location. I would like to do some drag racing and autocrossing with it this year.
