These guys are in Hampshire and make good tanks though am not sure about the threaded plastic fuel line connection tail ends - perhaps they do an alternative.

Yep went for the sea star system got a cracking bargain of e-bay, brand new unit still sealed in its box!!! This seamed like the best unit i could find after asking many people, looks like its an easy fit and the parts look extremly solid and well made.
