This is my ford ranger with a truckman top, custom 650L tank and 2 reels.  You should be able to fit a flat tank of the size your looking at in the same load space.  Mines a double cab as well.

In my l200 i easily fit 10 25l barrels in the back with my backpack and poles and trolley which has 50m of hose and my bucket and a box full of trad gear. I could probably fit more but ive only got 10.

These tanks are designed to fit into the back of a pick-up:

The picture above is of a 400 litre one, but they are also available in 100 and 200 litre sizes.
