The cost for the fabrication of the tank was $1230 NZ .
Finished weight about a Kilo more than the plastic tank.

Bill,
Congratulations on a fantastic result. Your tank looks well thought-out and beautifully constructed. You should be justifiably proud of a job well done. I can only look at those lovely flat panels and neat welding with envy 
I would love to see some more pictures of this, either on or off list (though I suspect that a lot of people will have an interest in this).

Snip ....
A very happy day as ZK CHV is now back in the air complete with a new aluminium fuel tank.

Great job on the tank. It looks excellent and gives a useful increase in volume.
How do you intend to prove it complies with the requirements? I note the pictures show a test rig, possibly for functional tests? The tank will need to be pressure tested, easily achieved using a long tube and a calculated head of liquid (please use water for the test and remember to recalculate for the higher density).
The larger volume will need the basic static strength calculations to be revisited. Hhigher inertia loads and different CG location will alter the loads being carried by the forward structure.
What is the weight of the bare tank?
I dont know where your project is based, for builders in the UK this would definitely be classified as a modification.
Regards
JW
