should 'ave got a 110!!
main problem with carrying inside is the smell and the fumes that you never seem able to avoid. extra tanks is the rolls royce option, also means not having to pay extra duty at borders. extra tanks are available even for the 90 which will give you significantly greater range and will carry fuel safely and fume free.
wether you need the extra depends on where you are travelling but I don't think the standard 90 tank is sufficient. Off the top of my head I don't know what the standard capacity is. off road even 80L will only give you a range of about 300 miles, which leaves you very little margin for getting stuck, lost etc. when on pDC in a suzuki with 60L of fuel in jerries we ran very low on 2 occassions. Once because all the garages in a town had ran out and once because of having to backtrack to find a way through dunes and pulling other cars out. work out how much you think you will need and add at least 50% for margin.
just my humble of course

True you may be carrying too much if you have to put jerry cans on top of a 110, but what about a 90? We don't all have huge 6x6 rigs like EO. ;-) I'm helping a couple get a 90 ready for London to Cape Town. Something will end up on the rack. We already know that!
