Only cheap way I know is to get one from a motorbike and add a funnel.
I would agree they seem unreasonably expensive.

A mate and I grafted the top of a fuel tank into the side of a hot rod once. Looked very good, and worked equally as well.
Obviously, the tank was no good after that, with a bloody great square hole in it!
If you do that though, be mindful that it is a FUEL tank, and that it should really be filled with water when you cut it.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

I seem to remember that Frost's do a home anodizing kit for about £60. You could get this and anodize a normal aluminium fuel cover.
You'd probably end up spending more but you could anodize to your hearts content after that!

Also I suppose you could spray it with the correct paint. I use Jotun Paints hardtop flexi for my parts and nothing takes it off when wet let alone
dry. Cleaning brushes is hard as nothing will touch it not even petrol or brake fluid. The only thing that gets rid of once dry is either a sharp
metal object or the angry grinder.
