just got prices
back from turtlepac bit on the expensive side 80lt is $800 and the 105lt is $1300...am chasing about an extra 150 litres in the boat so I think getting something fabricated and under the floor might be cheaper

I knew they were not cheap, but those prices surprised me.

Fuel Containment
google these guys
they made mine to fit the dimensions of my kill tank
they are QLD, cost me around $300 -$400 for 165ltr bladder built to AS, with proper breather outlet.
I put Outdoinit onto them and pretty sure he got one too
