Group, here's a thought about gas tank possibilities.
These are very heavy wall plastic, most likely HDPE
They have large openings and some plumbing installed.
The 12V pump may be questionable though.

Folks I recommend that anyone that wants a custom fuel tank get in touch with the local Boating service folks and have them fabricate you a tank for your exact specs. Its easy inexpensive and made of aluminum. I had both of my tanks fabricated that way and they are strong and exactly as I want them. Each tank, and mine are big at 14 gallons each was about 175 dollars don't know what todays prices are but should not be too much more.
Measure 3 times before you order as you will get exactly what you tell them no refunds. I would to make sure fabricate the model out of cardboard to make sure it fits and is exactly the shape you want, including the fittings and whatever. Only then go and order.

I just had an aluminum tank custom made for my Firestar by these guys.
http://www.alumiworx.com/cart/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=23
It was about $180 shipped for my 8 gallon tank. Prices will vary depending on options, size and shipping. I'm pretty happy with it but they left off the mounting tabs. I'm currently recovering my plane so I haven't filled it with fuel yet. I know it doesn't leak water.
I did make a cardboard tank first and that is a must. I found issues I didn't think of when drawing it out on paper.
