HDPE [high density polyethylene] can be welded [fused together] using a hot air gun. Plastic fab shops have the equipment and skills to do the work. The hot air welding gun cost about $500.00. You can find these tanks at http://www.jegs.com/ and other performance sites. I have a 7 1/2 gallon for my header tank. They come complete with fuel cap, vents, and 1/2 and 3/8" fittings and foam to prevent sloshing. They are used in dragsters. Just think 7 1/2 gal burn in a 1/4 mile run -- wow.
PS I am still looking for some carbon fiber cloth scraps.
