Biodiesel conversion & 100gal fuel cell

Noob with the Excursion. Used to have a '95 F350 crew cab dually. Loved that PowerStroke!
Looking to pick up an 6.0 Excursion to convert to burn waste vegetable oil (wvo). The '95 F350 had dual fuel tanks that are remotely switched from the cab. Is the Excursions 44gal tank a single or dual tank?
Where would a 100gal fuel cell fit on the Excursion? Is there enough room around the rails for a cell that size? Anyone have any experience with a larger fuel cell?
Thanks!
Cheers!
Jack

The Excursions have a single tank, and as for the 100 gal tank, I have NO idea where you could fit one under the body. Maybe if you removed the spare tire you could fit another tank in that space.

To do that you'd be putting the tank in behind the 3rd row seat. Not sure I'd want a fuel tank inside the passenger compartment.

45 gallon tank is a lot of weight. You want to add another 100 gallons of weight? You'll need some considerable suspension help "IF" you can find a way to do it wiht the weight centered.
