My neighbor is the guy who now owns the world record for single engine non-stop endurance, Guam to Jacksonville. He did it in a Lancair 4. I watched him make the five or so ferry tanks that fit exactly into each available space inside the airplane. All tanks were made of carbon fiber and are exceptionally light. If I ever want a ferry tank I'd go the same way he did. I suspect I'd build them to fit in the rear seat passenger foot wells, then perhaps another tank going across the top of those two tanks and extending over the rear seat deck. This would help with W&B and as there would be no rear passengers with all this added fuel weight taking up the passenger space is not an issue.
