I pressure tested my own by cutting up an old bike innertube and using it to create a bung with a valve in the centre. I then stuck this into the filler hole and bunged up the other holes too. Pump it up to about 10 psi and submerge all the joins in water and check for air escaping. It's not very scientific but it works, and saves paying someone to do it for you.

Thats what i did when i made mine for my series.  I made it out of 3mm steel and i can just about lift it empty so its slightly over engineered

rangerider:
I have an old series tank bolted to the floor in the back of my trooper, cost a tenner from a breakers, and another 20 for a sender unit for the fuel guage.

Just used some stud & plenty nuts to bolt it straight into a couple of holes I drilled in the floor.

Sheddy:
Frost and Hayter (Steel)  or  Bespoke Fabrication (for stainless) on Canvey will accomodate you.
