Tank that fits between rear frame rails

Looking for something that will fit between the rear frame rails, something slim you wont see from behind. I have looked at the ones offered on the various sites and they all seem to hang down.

I am not concerned about gallons, 12 to 16 is plenty I just want something slim, even if its a traditional plastic fuel cell.

Any ideas?

There are some that are custom made to do just what you describe... but they ain't cheap.
