I have one of those Chris Witor tanks, i dont know if bought the first one as it didn't fit at all and had to go back for major modification.
The build quality is very good, but i think mine was the prototype, as it came back from being modified and still had issues.
It fits it the car really well and got my car back on the road, which allowed me to enjoy it all last year instead of it being parked up with a boot full of petrol whilst i scoured ebay for a rusty replacement.
The issues with my tank are:-
-- the capacity is about 10 gallons now before it runs out on a flat road.
--the sender unit now has a bent arm to make the gauge read something sensible and make the fuel light come on at 2 gallons left. (my tank isnt as deep as the original tank and the sender unit wouldnt drop far enough)
--my fuel outlet is to high and doesnt line up with the hole in the boot floor, so i now have a rubber hose between the fuel outlet pipe and the pipe under the car.
--the fuel sloshes around a lot as i dont think there are any baffles in there.
I would check with Chris on the current build of the tank so you know what you are getting into, i fed back all my issues last year so he knows.
I am not complaining as it was amazing to be able to get my car back on the road so quickly with a new clean tank that fits into the original location and I am grateful to Chris Witor for taking this project on. Also its aluminium so should be fit and forget.
Thanks for all the info on these. If they act on the customer feedback, it could be a very good option indeed!
