Just measured my MK Tank.
760mm wide x 210mm high x 180mm front to back.
Width wise mine is about 10mm per side narrower than the chassis rails that go down to the bottom rail at the back.
Height wise should be OK, depending on what you do about boot box.
Front to back is going to be very tight at 230mm. It will sit on the box section behind the diff and on the round tube at the rear. My MK tank has a
25mm gap between the diff and the same between the tank and the rear panel.

Hi,as chris mentioned already,
try MK engineering(Martin Keenan) himself I would think his price would be similar to the one you have quoted.
Martin made my tank to my own design for about the same price.

Or a 5 Gallon Jerry Can for (I think) £15.
Small bit of extra work involved, but hey, this is locostbuilders right?

the weight of 7 gallons of fuel will seriously upset the handling as its behind the back axle,after burning 2 gallons of fuel you will want to stop
for a cuppa/break
who cares who wins
