Depends what you want to do with it.

Motorsport regs say fuel cells have a 5 year life (no one checks in reality), thus alloy is the route to go down as it doesn't come into that category.
From my checks for a 40L tank, your looking around 300 for the most basic cell - 1000 for the same thing from different places, add on top $200 for almost every add on -fuel level sender, remote fill plate, collector etc..

Also no after market fuel level senders work with the Toyota clusters

that only applies to bladder type cells dosn't it?
as i see it, any metal tank would be indefinite, as per OEM tanks.

Mr Mainstream was looking for sheetmetal work.
I've been a bad bad boy. I should read the rules and behave before I get spanked by an admin
