I think you will find that this will be more of a problem in the marine industry, as ethanol will seperate from fossil fuels when left for periods in excess of 2 weeks, this will in fact eat in to fibreglass tanks.
The other problem is that engines may start on pure ethanol which has lead to manufacturers expessly excludng any warranty claims that may relate to this issue.

I have also just discovered that our local fuel outlet, Tyers Store VIC, only has B20 diesel, with only a tiny warning label on the pump.
I think it should be clearly posted on the roiadside price board that it is B20 to save people, like myself, that refuse to use it from pulling in to maybe find out when it's too late.

John, after much searching for something suitable, we purchased a Boab brand poly tank from nearest Opposite Lock shop. Ozhumvee has given you the link. Their poly tanks are only around 50 - 60 litres. We did find an 80 litre in a different brand somewhere - i think from Qld. There are several choices of shape and volume. Currently setting it up secured in the tray, to be plumbed into the fuel line as a back up fuel tank. This is more for security should we hole the main tank, than for extra supplies.

Boab also make stainless steel tray tanks in larger sizes, but the s/s was a lot more expensive.
