Gas tanks have come up before. If I'm not mistaken, I thought Rootlieb's was marketing them.

I have my name on one at Brassworks when available.
They are currently working on the tooling. Hopefully there is enough demand for the tanks to warrant manufacturing. Rootlieb have no one making them and have no stock.
Hope this helps.

Spoke with Brassworks today. It'll be a while before they start making gas tanks. They're short on employees
