I very much doubt the regs would let you keep a tank of hot oil in the passenger cab of the car, personally I wouldnt want it there anyway.
From previous reading I think its a no, but the piping can go through the cab, but must be covered over under a suitable shield.

Vauxhall XE engine
The Tank is from SBD http://www.sbdev.co.uk/Dry_Sump_Systems/Dry_Sump_Spares_Acc/Dry_Sump_Spares.htm
Holds about 5 litres iirc
Mounted to the chassis on some rubber sheet
Be aware though that if you go for a smallish tank like this it needs to be mounted as near to the engine as possible

Thank you,
Is there anything inside that tank baffles or the like as some I have seen have, I'm having one custom made i think and will mount it behind the
steering rack infront of the engine, hopefully should help with cooling and the pipe length will be short

Mine is where the passenger footwell used to be, put the firewall behind the oil tank
My tank is a bit bigger than 5L, will hold about 10L, but will run with about 8L. Engine Toyota Beams 3sge
