Custom made stainless steel petrol tank
Anyone has a custom made stainless steel tank made?
If so how much did it cost and where did you get it made?

Cheers
John

Will need Filler, Vent, Fuel feed with dip tube and gauge sender
possibly an inspection hatch - maybe simpler if this incorporated all the above.

best gauge to have would be a wema, tank would be about £550 at a guess, with only one cuppa inside me
