Yes, I made the tank. Started with a cardboard mockup, then transferred to Stainless sheet.
i put this together piece meal. That was my first mistake AND more expensive !.
 
I figure about $800, including the parts that either didn't fit or had to be modded.
I have my heart set on an electric trike now
 
I keep coming back to look at that tank!
Im curious, did you braze the seams and where did you find that fuel cap?
Oh, and did you put any kind of sealer in it after you finished?
It looks like it is just 3 pieces? Is there a edge or "lip" on the fuel cap side?

I'm impressed with your workmanship!
 
Thank you .... The tank is 3 piece, the center piece is rolled at the bends. I made this from stainless steel and did not coat the interior. Next time I'll use aluminum to save weight but I had some ss sheets in the scrap bin. I started with a cardboard mockup and transferred the dimensions to the sheets. I used a TIG to do the welds. As far as the bung and cap I can't remember where i got them, some motorcycle place. Might I suggest : make the tank wide enough to mount the bung on the top of the tank ( I'll do that next time ).
