I have seen a food-grade unit. Not sure if it is in production or not.
It would be easy to tap the bottom and put in a valve.

The only way to make that happen is to get a custom one made. There is an employee of AEV that will take the JK bumper/Swing out and modify for the TJ. Once that is done you could use their fuel tank.

Anyone else finding that there may be a few gallons left at the bottom of the tank after using the siphon? I suspect this is probably the cost of having the convenience but want to see if others are encountering the same unusable fuel amount. Not sure how to get the siphon fed all the way over to the far right lowest corner of the tank (at least it appears to be the lowest point) or if there is even a way. I really like this tank - just would prefer not to leave unused fuel at the bottom to gum up and go bad over time. I'll be watching for the first drain plug mod which is bound to arise eventually. Thanks for any tips.

From AEV:
Currently we have no plans to offer this design in a potable water version, however if there is enough demand we certainly could. Let us know via our contact page.

I'll do some more playing to see if I get the technique down. I do have the spring inside the hose and the hose basically lowered vertically to the bottom but not over to the right side. It seems like the right side corner is the lowest point but I am not looking inside the tank to confirm this. If others are getting most of the fuel out with a small amount left that the siphon will never capture then that's fine - I seem to be leaving more than I expected inside the tank before the siphon gives up when a vacuum is lost.

I will try to mount mine this morning
it fits, there is only about 2-3" of strap left, but it works

I have the AEV fuel caddy and use a Trasharoo. It is a little more challenging to attach since the straps can't wrap around the backside of the tire as designed.(I wrap them over the top of the fuel caddy) I've started to use a bungie cord between the two straps on the backside of the tire/tank just for added security. So far it has worked just fine. Not the best picture but here's one of my set up.
