I've been researching this topic and officially a plastic tank made for diesel is not manufactured to hold gasoline, it has to do with ATEX (risk of explosion). The plastic they use for gasoline tank is different, kind of anti-static, gasoline vapours are more at risk of ignition than diesel. The tank has to be vented differently too. I need to find a solution that will be compatible with my 2 years DOT inspection here.
If i don't find the original 100 liters tank, i'll probably go with an external transfer tank, like this one maybe:

worse case i can remove it when going for my DOT inspection if it is not allowed.
But I even found one in Switzerland that could fit inside the van, near the refuel cap in the left sliding door:

they have 60 and 96 liters. On top of my existing tank, that could give me up to 1'000 km range, which would be awesome.
