That's what I was going to ask about. Worm gear hose clamps always catch my eye after having ripped open my skin one them enough times.
it seemed like a cool setup and for all intents/purposed used only Toyota parts. 
Similar idea, but there's a company called Trail'd that builds 6 & 14 gallon donut-shaped poly tanks that secure with the spare tire hoist. I was going to do an onboard water system (which I'm rethinking), but it could just as easily be used "off label" for fuel. No mounting fabrication required - literally just hook the spare tire holder through the middle and hoist it up until it's tight.That's what I was going to ask about.

A guy in my Kokopelli group last year had an 80 with two stock Toyota fuel tanks. One was the stock 80 tank, and the second was a stock Toyota Tercel tank that he said fits perfect in the spare tire holder space. He'd set it up to have a pump, with valve & hose to "manually" transfer to the regular 80 tank or to a jerry can or to someone else's truck. Food for thought. Maybe if you're unable to find a replacement 80 tank, consider a Tercel tank. Or do both if you can

Thank you so much! What size shirt do you wear?
I’ll PM you so I don’t muck up Brandi’s thread with 60 Series crap.
my tank was clean like this when i did the fuel pump on my 80 after it failed coming home from Argentine a few years ago, I was horrified when I opened this tank and found this rusty mess (insert Nietzsche abyss quote here)
When i did the fuel pump on the 4Runner i used a motorcycle jack to lower and raise it... worked great!!! the tank was full too!my tank was clean like this when i did the fuel pump on my 80 after it failed coming home from Argentine a few years ago, I was horrified when I opened this tank and found this rusty mess (insert Nietzsche abyss quote here)
I have a cheap drill powered transfer pump that I have been using that takes some of the forearm work out of the equation but I will use the tank drain plug as I did not know about its existence. Once again, too many years of working on GM products has me expecting the worst for maintenance based design
Murphy was an optimist.
I can think of a few ways to dispose of it once you get it out
I still have that 3 gallon can from last October in Moab. We burned a little bit there. A bit later at home I gave 1-2 gals to a friend visiting who was driving a rental. I used the remainder in my pressure washer to get mud off my truck. Worked out great. LOL! I cannot help but last cuz I know what you mean.
