They are not DOT approved it looks like. I am not sure that matters to you but it is something to consider. If you are not going to drive the car much or not take it racing on a track that has inspections then it will probably be ok.

Nice looking tank. It is the same volume and has similar dimensions to the original Manta Mirage tank. Need to figure out how you will mount it. My tanks are steel and have tabs that bolt them directly to the chassis. All the weight of tank and fuel are hanging (cantilevered) off the outside frame rails. This tank looks like it will need some added support(s) to mount it in the car. If your chassis has the outriggers that surround the fuel tanks, that may be a place for added support. (My early chassis has no outriggers, just the fuel tanks.)
