We are to the point with 1149 that I have to seriously think about fuel tanks. It seems to come down to two choices, since I am not going to get race-car type fuel cells for a car that will hardly ever see the track, and that only for "touring" class driving....either aluminum tanks that slide into the sponsons, or FRP tanks using vinylester resin, which is resistant to ethanol. (there have been and continue to be problems in the marine industry with older polyester/fiberglass tanks which are dissolving with ethanol-laced fuels)
So.......has anyone on the Forum made their own tanks, or can they direct me to a reliable maker of custom tanks?
Oh- plastic tanks would be fine, but the cost of custom-rotomolding plastic tanks is very high, the mold manufacturing cost has to be amortized out over many many tanks, which we can't do.
Suggestions carefully read and gratefully appreciated.
