I'd really hate to tell you how to do this, since i'm the only mazda rolling with one as of right now that i know of. But first you have to find a keg (there not to cheap anymore with deposit) then get on ebay or online, and order a aluminum or stainless filler neck for a boat gas tank, then get a universal sending unit which you will adjust to the proper height of the keg. break out the welder (hopefully you can weld alum/stainless) flatten a spot on one side, put in a hole with a hole saw or plasma. put in the filler neck, bolt or weld in. then weld in 2 nipples on the top of the keg for the to and return line for gas, weld up the top (after you take the internals out where the tap used to go) and your all set. Before you put gas in it, get a heavy duty cleaner and make sure ALL of the beer is gone, its a very gummy substance and will f'up your carb! hope this helps, heres a picture running on its third year now! Also you will have to make your own tank staps to hold it in place, and i had to weld in new crossmembers on the frame to cradle the keg since it wont fit in the box if you have a tonnaue cover. you then have to cut a hole in the box where the crossmembers were and counter sink it into the bed.
