Got an ali purpose made tank that was on a Range Rover mud plugger. Nicely made bit of kit but don't know how adaptable to your needs it would be. Can get you a couple of photos of it but not till middle of next week. Would be cheap as the rest of the plugger was scrapped after we used the engine for another vehicle.

Drop us a message and I’ll send my number over, sure itll come in useful for something at some point!Got an ali purpose made tank that was on a Range Rover mud plugger.

It was filled with citric and left for a day, bit of manky water came out but nothing awful, think ill keep it as a back up option if allMotorcycle tanks are made of paper thin steel so I cant see an issue with a good condition air reciever, its going to be heavy in comparison.
If you do, fill it for 10 hours with citric to remove any rust and should protect it, then rinse and dry.
Its no fun having rust or water in a tank. With my little bike we just got a new tank as we saw one cheap.
Some very nice work there . I was going with a 10L minimum, purely of guess work. Race is half hour long but definitely don’t want to be running out half way throughHow much fuel are you looking to hold I will be turning some new press tools soon the largest being 190mm theese are the smaller ones I make from 1.5 but it let's you get the picture, the inside of that one is to show the penetration I normally get

When we did demolition derbies the tank used to be tin gallon cans strapped across the back seat panel, with outlet and vents soldered in...Years back I used to do the spannering for a mate who raced bangers.
We used old fire extinguishers in pretty much the manner you describe. They got banned in the end I think.
One thing I could see with your design being an issue is the sight glass. It’s a weak point which will allow a leak in an accident.
With the bangers we were limited to a quantity of fuel. No where near 50l. Which is why a cut off fire extinguisher worked well.
Edit. Crossed with redsailor
You’ll need a vent as well so it doesn’t draw a vacuum
Motorcycle tanks
They ususally have a large void to wrap around the frame, or if not, still an odd shaped, paper thin steel bag, not really suited for mounting in any kind of car.Already mentioned but not quite in the right context
What about
Admittedly a while since I last had a bike but remember some sort of cross tube through the frame with rubber washers around that which U shaped flanges on the tank fitted around, cannot remember how the back fixed. Simple enough to fabricatenot really suited for mounting in any kind of car.
Shall send you a PMHere's a photo of the tank. Overall dimensions are 36" x 16" x 10" approx.View attachment 385435
Sorry to go OT.Kegs are owned by brewery companies and because miscreants were stealing them to weigh in for scrap, it got so bad that breweries were losing so many as to be unsustainable cost wise. So laws were passed that anyone found in possession, transporting or scrapping was illegal even scrapyards were liable to heavy fines. Even melting them down and being caught with the Stainless spire in the middle meaning you'd melted them. The only exemption was with proper documentation from the brewery to do any of the above.
