I'm all for a bargain and I have been scouring the net for and alternative to an alloy one for ages and this one is a nice shape, still cant find a boat polyethlene one that would fit though.

Om a side note, are nylon p-clips ok for securing brake and fuel lines? the zinc/rubber ones seem a bit expensive @ £3 for 10?
the tank is very light indeed, its 3kgs including the sender fitted , i don,t think there will be much difference between this tank & an ali one, tho i must be honest & say its not the same dimensions as per book,

BUT it fits, its 4.5gallon & its new & it was cheap & as you all know my car will be finished within my budget of £3k

as for the plastic p clips....... thats what i,m using with some plastic tubing from an aquarium to "cushion" the brake pipe, works a treat
cheers
