Bill,
Try a marine store like West Marine..They have molded plastic and
aluminum tanks of various sizes and shapes with different fitting
configurations. They make ones for water and fuel. There prices are a little
high but you can probrobly find a marine manufacturer or distributer up on
the north shore near gloucester, MA that supplies the fishing boats with
stuff like this. you can look up west marine at www.westmarine.com I
believe....
Good Luck,
