Anyone installed Oil Mate?

I'm going to install the Oil Mate system http://www.oilmate.com on my '96 Dodge 3500 and wanted to know if anyone else had done so......The big question is did anyone find a way to mount the 5 gallon tank in the engine bay?.......From the dimensions they gave I can't see anywhere to put it.......They are offering a 2 gallon tank that I could mount by removing one of the batteries......It is less than ideal because the low reservoir indicator will come on when the tank is half full.......My preference is to install the 5 gallon tank......Next would be to install a tank that wouldn't require removing a battery.

I've been reading the TDR forums for some time and finally decided to join......this is my first post......I bought my truck used and got a great deal because it had several ache's and pains the previous owner was sure were going to cost big money to fix......In searching TDR I found the fixes and it cost me less than $10 and my time to fix them!......I am in awe of the power of internet communities like this to provide a "forum" where ideas can be discussed and solutions can be found.
