If you're still after a fuel tank, there is one just listed on ebay, item 140365668164.
Also listed by the same seller is a rad, clutch kit, revolution alloys & a gearbox. All items state postal service available.

hey guys thanks for all your answers- beevers for info dont do them any more (along with front panels!) and I have since decided to go for an alloy tank on the insde of the car- theres serious angle grinder business occuring in the next few months!

For some reason I have got this image of an ally petrol filled container sitting where the passenger seat would be , probably with a wooley bobble hat on the top  :o
You could just fit a Fiat 500 tank which would give you a little more weight on the front end & the 126 sender unit will go straight in to accomodate the fuel return  [-/

Rusty, how big is the 500 tank in capacity?

The manual says 4.5 galls on a 500 & 4.6 galls on a 126  [-/

If I remember rightly, the 500 had the pipes to supply hot air to the screen on the inside. All the 126's seem to have them in the boot and the BIS is even worse with the fan etc in the boot. Might be a factor to consider...
