Thanks guys. Sent a mail to Bryn for a quote - not looking forward to it!
Any comments on the design, esp the baffle?
Not exactly experienced in these things! Its a submersible pump for injection (if you hadnt guess that already  ).

Talk too bryn on phone, he knows is tanks, made me a beauty for the GT1, a tank in a tank, small foam filled tank for racing inside a larger tank for
the road, dropped in on Martin today to talk about tank, exhaust and roll bar for the "Hybrid" GT1, he was busy making top quality tanks,
there both 1st class.
The above tank will be coming out if anyone's interested in it, no good for a 7 due too shape but would go in a middy nice, (fits in side pod)

Call him and he'll ask you to fax over some sketches for a price.
Depending on your expectations you may be pleasantly surprised - my custom 50litre Fury tank was a lot less than I was expecting - cost less than the
8 gallon Fisher one.

If you're after an amazing quality tank then speak to Peter of Willweld Ltd. He pointed out to me a lot of faults with my MK tank and even
sorted them free of charge for me.
His welding is incredible and will send you pics of his work. Not at all pricey, but the quality speaks for itself.
Email: sales@willweld.com
Mobile: 07850511931
Tel/Fax: 01233770888
I honestly cant recommend him enough.

I take it that the "well" at one end of the tank is the "anti-surge" area for the pump to draw from.
If so, it's too flat and shallow. If you can't make it deeper (and I would guess that would risk it grounding ona low curb) then make it
smaller, and actually weld it onto the base of the tank, as in weld a full length base into the tank, work out where your surge tank will go and then
holesaw a 30mm hole in the tank base and weld the surge "tank" (pot, lump, whatever you want to call it!) over the hole. That way the fuel
can get in but not out very easily. With a big flat pan like you have the fuel will just surge away from the outlet.
..................just read that you are using a submersible pump. That won't fit in the arrangment I have just described. Does it have an
integral surge tank in the pump assembly? If not it really needs one. If not then use an external pump with the arrangement that I have described.
