E320 wagon additional gas tank

I was wondering if someone turned the space from the third seat in to a additional tank for the wagon. Maybe is available to buy and just connecting it.

one reason not to do this ...

is the safety issue. Get rear-ended and bar-b-qued for your efforts. JMO.

talking diesel ...it does not explode. And by the way is more of a safety hazard when people are using plastic gas containers to carry gas for their boats, loan motors, atv's etc... and it happened to be in the trunk. The space I am talking about is under bumper level. Meantime a lot of cars are having their tanks that way.

Isn't your tank already there?

Or is the spare there and the tank where the spare is in a one twenty three?

W123 and W124 are similar layouts WRT spare and tanks.

Exhaust is different, tank is offset to right side on W123, muffler follows back as a sedan.

For the W124, the muffler is transverse behind the bumper, and the tank is between the muffler and the diff.

It's pretty shallow in the well, and I'd also be concerned about the smell, as the tank would be in the passenger compartment.

Mercedes still sells a small tank to fit in the spare wheel--just not in the USA.

It's a take out and pour in the normal way tank, not plumbed that is.

B6 758 0038 -- you could get one from Speed Autoteile

7 liters

Where I can get that gas container, it looks very neat.
