Get one made by stainless fabs, round the back by offshore power. You can't have a 2nd hand one shipped from the UK as it used to have petrol in, and the cost of a new one plus shipping will be more than getting tuts to make one...
That way it'll fit perfectly too!

Does anyone on here use plastic fuel tanks? 100 liter sort of size... Or are they more prone to cracking/splitting?
The prices of them seem a lot more tempting then getting one made in stainless....
Cheers for any info, greatly appreciated...

Ali Tank is 440W x 440H x 700L so its 120+ Ltrs If you send me an email to chairman@ocrda.org I can send a photo !! It does not smell of Petrol as it has been out for sometime so could transport as a water tank !!

We have been using Bladder Tanks for sometime now although they are not particularly well suited to being in an enclosed space !!
