Jim- Ranch Pratt from RRCA has a very custom triangular shaped fuel tank installed in his TJ that sits right in the middle and more upright than anything else. It is right behind the center console.

Should help with the bias and not affect COG too drastically. It is aluminum and very sturdy looking. Probably less likely to be damaged by any mishap of most any sort due to it's location.

For a street rig it is fairly goofy looking though. Were it me, I would build a custom tank that utilized the stock pump and make it a saddle tank that hangs on the back wall right behind the seats. Just hang a bulkhead between the rollbar uprights and incorporate the tank hanger and shoulder harnesses onto it.
