I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "deep" or "shallow" tunnel; how deep is deep?
But these guys are right, there's more to it than just that; there are the tank bumpers on the inside that hold the tank in place; those need to line up correctly, and they are different on all tanks. I'm not sure you'd really be able to know exactly what wil or won't work until you hold it up there on the frame.
For my roadster project, I found an old 1969 Suzuki tank to retro-fit. At first glance, it looked like it was going to slide on pretty easy, but in the end, my buddy Jay had to cut part of the backbone out of the frame and re-weld it to make room, and then he also had to cut off and re-position the tank bumpers underneath. Quite a pain-in-the-butt. That tank does leave room for the electronics though, including the de-comp solenoid, and that made me happy. If you're getting an older metal tank, you can also hammer in the sides to widen the tunnel if you need to, but even with the decomp stuff in there, there isn't a whole lot of stuff running up the middle of a Savage; it's pretty narrow...
What kind of tank are yo thinking about ordering? Do you have pictures or specs you can post?
