Many builders here i Sweden are using the fuel tank from the old saab V4. It will fit almost perfect, but might be hard to find outside sweden.

Spitfire tank fits a dream, and before the smart arses get in on the act, I mean the Triumph type, not Supermarine!

That is stainless, can't remember what capacity, i think it is 7 gallon. Without a surge tank, about £60 depending on size shape. In alli much about the same and in mild steel about £40.
