Depends what you want done..

If your going to make it out of alloy, it seems most people use 3mm. I havent found any information on the vvta site, as the document about fuel isnt linked..

There was wet carpet in my celica boot that rotted the top of the tank in a few places.
I found a fibreglass tank manufacturer that remade the top of the tank from the remnants and then lined it with a special petrol resistant coating.

only leak ive had (6 years) was from a sender unit seal perishing.

never had issues getting a warrant with it
