Default Fuel Tank for GRP rear end

Hello,

Does anyone know a supplier of aluminium fuel tanks that will fit a grp rear end? Preferably one which doesn't have any fuel outlets. Just a big hole in the top as the sender/pump/return unit are an all in one unit.

Thanks

David

tricky thing i found is that you just dont know what will fit dimentionaly and where inlets and outlets need to go
i have a tig and have made a 32l tank to fit a grp back but have no ins and outs fitted yet as i dont know where i need them. i have to make the sump or pot for it too as im going injection
