3700 CE throughput

We are using an ABI 3700 for genotyping, and would like to maximize its throughput potential. Unfortunately, when ABI designed the fluid reservoirs, they only designed them to hold enough buffer and water for about 9 runs--basically half of full capacity. Has anyone found a way to add additional reservoirs or modify the configuration in some way so that the 3700 can run independently for 48 hours? Short of drilling holes in the doors (which I'm sure would void the warranty!), we can't think of a simple solution.

Thanks
