I'd like to fit a fire extinguisher on the rear bulkhead behind the passenger seat, but I have visions of drilling a hole and finding i've punctured the fuel tank. Where is the generally preferred location?

I have a small one located behind the drivers seat by my left shoulder, that way it's easy to grab in an emergency. Hopefully I'll never find out if it works or not!

I was hoping to manage without removing the passenger seat - I see you have some gear attached to the bulkhead as well as the floor, is this with screws or glue?
Basically, does the bulkhead double as petrol tank or is there just air behind it?

I screwed mine to the rear bulkhead between the seats with no problems at all. I just made sure that I didn't drill wildly through the alloy bulkhead then used short self tappers to secure the bracket.
