The other option is to raise your seat but I don't think that would help much as you would have raise it very high. I would make the tank moveable, maybe permanent blocks in front or back and keepers attached to the seat that could be swung out of the way so the tank could be slid out atleast that is what I plan to do when I get there.

If you are talking about a Montauk with an original RPS, the Moeller may fit depending on the height of the gas cap. I don't know of any 12 gallon tanks that you did not have to slide rearward to fill. The original metal tanks had to slide rearward to fill just like the newer plastic replacement 12 gallon tanks.
