Hmm... As long as its made by a coded welder and then pressure tested for leaks it should be fine...
as it isn't structural or high pressure you don't even need to be coded!
The general engineering company I work for (only small) make a few tanks every now and again for heating oil and we repair a load of tanks for boats etc
As long as they pass a pressure test then they are safe to use

same same, making a petrol tank here is simple.
dont need to be an rocket surgeon.
just need it certified by a coded boily and get a safe load pass cert done (which i can do at work)
making the tank isnt the ordeal, its the easy bit, mocking one up and all the trauma associated measurements will be the hard bit.

thats goes for any product anybody makes for the consumption of joe public mate.
as long as the vessel you make holds fuel and is tested correctly and is certified, your covered, at least thats how it is here, what could possibly go wrong with a professionally made tank from a competent technician?
as long as nobody tries to use one for some sort of petrol smoking bong apparatus, it just has to hold fuel etc,
hopefully i will have one done in the next 18 months and others could use the plan as a basis of cheers or geers i spose.
