ebay has heaps on there they prettymuch all alloy jobbys from RCI i have a 51L one in my zook they use a 0-90ohm sender so you may need to buy a fuel gauge aswell... making one is fairly straight forward but pretty time consuming just buy aluminised steel and have a crack

Is what you lot call a "fuel cell" essentially a box shaped fuel tank?

becuase a REAL fuel cell is a hydrogen > electricity converter.

Yeah it is what everyone calls a fuel cell. Its an aftermarket universal fuel tank. Luckily enough i doubt there would be any confusion when calling aftermarket car part suppliers when asking for a fuel cell, a hydrogen>electricity convertor turning up. :roll:

got a price today nearly fell over when they said $600 for 20 gallon Aluminium one. Think I will be off to the wreckers and find one that has the right dimensions. Thanks for the help.

vn commodore fuel tanks are pretty good, they fit inbetween hilux chassis rails and are very flat so will fit under trays and tubs.

Thats what im going to be running on mine.
