Does anyone have a dimensioned diagram for a S2 fuel tank that they would be willing to share?

Gary,
    My tank is installed but, I can make a paper cutout of the side view and radii . The front ,top, back, and bottom are one piece and probably welded at mid level back,( maybe a short 6"weld.) . 
  the top and bottom are not the same dimension but can easily measure and approx tank level assembly( I would suggest you use a common size sensor flange)  the drain plug, tabs for mounting will be up to you.

Dakazman thanks I don't need precision I just want to get an idea of how much material would be involved.  My tank is currently  not leaking but I do not expect that to go on forever.  I should have been clever enough to make a drawing when it was in my shop  not in it's tiny tight corner in the car.

 Okay Gary,
  Mine is still accessible because my firewall is down.  I'll get the measurements tomorrow. I should have also copied them down.

   Gary ,
 Let me know how much and where you find a suitable material. Serge made his own tanks, look up his video on youtube.

Dave I didn't know about Serge`s video (just watched it) that is more or less what I had planned. I will use either  1100 or 3003 aluminum  sheet both  should be commonly available none hardening  metal. The filler tube will be the tricky bit to find. I'll just make up the flanges for drain and outlet  and sending unit.
What I'm doing is a feasibility study.
