You should be able to find one at any of the big catalog sites like 4wd or morris ect.
A 15 gal tank should fit but you would need the tank skid to go with it.

I wasnt aware of Jeep ever putting a 20 gal polly tank in CJ's. In my experience they used 15 gal steel tanks.
Here is a 15gal polly
Mts Company Part 0051 - Polyethylene Gas Tank by MTS Co. for Jeep
21gal polly
Mts Company Part 0051XL - Polyethylene Gas Tank and Installation Kit by MTS Co. for Jeep
factory steel 15gal
Omix-Ada Part 17720.10 - Fuel Tank by Omix-Ada for Jeep
There are more to choose from but that should give you a start. If it is one of the aftermarket tanks and you wanted to go with a 15 gal you should be able to remove the skid plate extensions and use the current skid plate. In most cases.

My 86 CJ7 has a 20 gallon fuel tank from the factory. In this picture you can see it sticks pretty far down.I wasnt aware of Jeep ever putting a 20 gal polly tank in CJ's. In my experience they used 15 gal steel tanks.

- '84 CJ7 - 430hp 401 on propane - T18a/D300 twinsticked, Superior axles, Lockers, full boatsides, Warn 8274, OBA, 36" TSL's.
I threw away a perfectly good 20 gal tank out of my CJ this summer when I did my propane conversion 
It even had 15 gallons of old gas in it when I pulled it 
Sorry, that's no help. I guess I should have hung on to it for someone who might need one.
