This container was for industrial hazardous solvent use, not a milk carton.
No existing tank was this size or shape and if you look, there is no room for anything but this exact size, which already is quite small.
If you look at race tanks, they are not designed for in-tank EFI pumps,
nor for filler tubes, so they just don't work here.

While I like innovation on the cheap, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable skrimping here. For <$100, you can buy a fuel tank intended for gasoline in sizes ranging from 1 quart to 5 gallons from Summit Racing or similar sites.
