Sounds like a good idea Phil, there's a lot of people struggle in locating fuel tanks for the roadster and to fit them with the sender is a helpful move.

All the Best......Andrew

I recently spent a fair amount of time researching fuel tank suppliers and I was consistantly told not to use Mild steel as it rusts most of the suppliers I talked to recommended Stainless or Ally only

Mild steel does indeed rust but I made my own tank from mild steel 2 years ago now and its still like new

The sheet was very clean though and the exterior was powder coated

I had the sender out a couple of weeks ago and the inside is looking good

Ally tanks definately are more appropriate than steel but they can be costly in comparison, steel does the job if done correctly just like it does in lots of production cars that see more miles and winter months than our roadsters ever will!

Got to say that i build my own tank from mild steel 2 years ago to similar to the book dimemsions.
Painted in red oxided and hammerite and it looks just as good as it did the day it was fitted and was pretty cheap compared to buying an aluminum one.
Thinking about it now, the only change i would consider would be larger.
