Why would we need a 70 gallon tank? You are going to have to stop to take a piss, lay or duece, get something to eat, etc anyways so it would be less $ to have the 11 gallon tank. Plus it would cause your shocks to fail prematurely and your back tires would also have more wear.

Empty Mountain Dew bottles can handle half of that problem.

After finishing installing the oversized tank, what would stay in the way of installing a "collection tank" underneath the driver's seat? We can use vacuum from the engine to create suction and everything. It wouldn't even get messy... The right chemicals in the tank would take care of the smell problem. Sounds doable to me

Cop: - Please step out of the vehicle sir.
Driver: - Sorry officer, I am taking a dump, but I'll be out in a minute...
