We have made 60+ of these fuel tanks in various forms and these have been sent throughout the world. We would happily compare the tanks that we make to any others on the market.
Standard size fuel tank in aluminium.
The standard tank in aluminium instead of steel, and fitted with a threaded fuel supply connector as per the original. The sender unit mount is a welded in boss instead of a mount stamped from the tank body as on other tanks, which then often leak.

The threaded outlet on the original tanks were either placed as in the picture above or next to the sender unit mount. We can place them in either position or elsewhere.
