Tempo makes some real nice above-deck type tanks. I have a 13 gallon in my Rapid Craft but they do make some smaller ones, including the 7.5 gallon which would probably work real nice for what you are doing. However, even the 7.5 gallon tank is pretty expensive (over $50, almost as much as the 13) compared to just going to Walmart and getting a 6 gallon Atwood for $15.
Only thing about the Tempos is you may want to check the plastic pickup tube and make sure it isn't too long and bottoming out on the bottom of the tank before you use it. T-Rex watched me go nuts trying to figure out why I kept running out of gas the first time I ran with that tank. I guess keeping a part to within 1/2" of the specification is too much to ask for today's computer-controlled manufacturing.
