murph:
Cheers folks, I will make my own,,
I wasn't sure if you can make your own and fit them,, I trained as a welder at an oil tank company, we made all sorts but petrol tanks were a different game.

How old is the Disco? Depending on age you will need connections for the charcoal can (vent scrubber), spalshback (tells the pump your tank is full), sender and pump. Strictly speaking all Type Approval tanks are tested quite thouroughly, some to destruction. Be aware of this when building your own tank.

on factory fitted equipment, ther are generally made as cheap as possible, but good enough to do the job, hence a lot of testing.
but when making your own equipment, its very easy to over engineer it as the cost of a thicker sheet of steel for instance would be almost negligable.
make sure the tank is stronger then what is accually needed, and have it pressure tested.
