    I'm searching but not finding a listing for universal or OEM tanks by size.
    I see lots of stuff close to what I need but not close enough..
    Need a small, flat, square tank approximately 24x24x6 max

    I do not know of a site, but Jeep CJ's are close to that size and a Willys would be closer .

    rockauto.com lists dimensions for many oem tanks, although you have to be careful.....

    Ha!
    Thanks, was hoping for a shortcut
    I've already built the tank in my head, may have to make it real if the perfect one can't be found.

    I have, nothing listed like what I need for this project.
    I have purchased a couple of their tanks for other projects though, nice quality stuff at a fair price

    I dont think ive ever seen a tank as thin as 6" in an oem automotive application. I wonder if something would be available for an industrial or marine application. Id try West Marine or Granger

    Thanks all for the suggestions.
    I have resolved to fabricate my own, it's really the only way to get exactly what I need.
