Auxiliary small fuel tank- Where to get a custom one!?

Hi guys,

I've been looking for a small 2-3 liter fuel tank to feed a auxiliary heater on my car.

What I was able to find is mostly go-cart plastic tanks with suspicious mounting points. Not something I want to take to explain on an MOT.

Ideally I'm looking for something I can hold into the space where the 12V 45A starter battery once went, with a square or round shape and a flat base. Fuel pickup can be either on side or top of the tank.

I've been looking at some expansion vessels for the coolant system, which more or less fit the bill, but nothing for fuel.

2.5L COOLANT EXPANSION TANK OVERFLOW BEST TOP ALUMINUM POLISHED RESERVOIR TANK | eBay

What do you guys suggest?

Thanks. They look very nice. Problem is, same as coolant types, lack of a suitable place to refill.

I ended up using one of these attached to the traction motor:
