Paul,
If you have no luck finding a ready made tank.
I can speak to Danny at Bristol Ave ,he engineered all the steel work on the Challenge race cars - chassis,cages,tanks etc - no one better.

As I exlplained to Paul, it is not economically viable to make these as 1 offs and they are so slow moving I can no longer justify keeping batches of them in stock. The last batch of 12 I made took 3 years to sell whilst others were selling them for nearly twice the price I was asking. Same with stainless swirl tanks, I can make them in batches and still hace a few 2.8 ones on the shelf but not economically viable for me to mask one offs. I dont really understand the logic of the TVR S market anymore, someone has just made an aluminium one for £110 and I couldn,t sell stainless ones for £85.
Everything has to be laser cut to ensure precision and fuel tanks need to be pressure tested (which most people dont do). If I can get sufficient orders to justify a batch, accompanied by deposits then I will produce some, maybe make a batch during winter depending on workload. sTeVeR

I suspect it's largely because people don't know what you have available. I made a mental note a long time ago that you were the person to ask when I needed one, but I don't know how anyone else would find out about that unless they happened to talk to somebody who knew.
