Kelly, these particular tanks are heavy, our "RV" project is converting an 18k lb semi tractor into a motorhome.
The company apparently can calculate the wall thickness and put the required amount of granules into the mold.
They are http://www.plastic-mart.com/category.aspx?cat=12 and explicitly state not for fuel.
 
 
Most people we know that have ferryed a canard long distance have made a glass tank themselves.

Chrissi,
    Do you have contact info for this company ??...........I am considering a removable tank for extended
cross country range...........The Delta has a bench type rear seat that can be removed and provide a
flat spot for an easy 50 gal (or more) tank............Most of my flying will be solo and their would be room
for a tank this size plus a little baggage before getting into CG problems...........Do you recall the weight
of your 30 gal tanks (each) and approx cost ?..............My Delta has two 26 gal alum saddle tanks (low
in center fuselage) and an extra tank will fit next to the center spar (massive 4130 tube weld-ment) for
safe anchoring..........
 
Thanks,

They were from a specialty tank company in TX, this was an off the shelf design but they can apparently do anything.

Was that a tank you got custom made, or something off the shelf?
