From that website:
Q: TA64D - Exhaust modifications
Is the factory exhaust modified to fit with this fuel tank?
A: No, the LongRanger Utilises the space between the tail shaft and the factory exhaust system. Note: As well as the grey paint we use to absorb less heat, a heat shield is supplied in the fitting kit to assist in keeping the fuel cool.
Q: TA64D - Ground clearance
Is ground clearance affected with the addition of another fuel tank?
A: No, The LongRanger is designed to complement the original jeep design and offers the same ground clearance as the factory tank.
Q: TA64D - Re-fuelling
Will the filling be improved?
A: we have included in the kit a complete new HI-Flow 38mm filler.
Q: TA64D - OEM Trip Computer
How will the new tank affect the trip computer?
A: The trip computer will continue to work as normal for the OEM tank and the distance to empty (DTE) will reflect the level of fuel in the main tank. As fuel is being transferred from the Auxiliary to the main, the distance to empty will actually increase to reflect the new level of fuel in the main tank.

I think there are two issues to deal with. The first and easiest is that the evap canister would need to be moved. The other issue is not so straight-forward.
Gasoline engines burn much hotter than diesel, so it would follow that the exhaust temps would be much higher as well. Gasoline is much more volatile than Diesel, so having the exhaust so close to the tank would make me a bit uneasy - heat shield or not.
That's probably why it's offered in diesel only.
