Definately, plus I know of a few people that sell them, then it's a matter of welding or bolting something in.

[_] = this shape with little sections on the top... then you can have the top be riveted or bolted, and removable like in some fuel cells if you want to redo something, w/o the risk of cutting it back open.

Then you're talking about sealing a surface that if stretched out would be over 9' long. Thats alot fo gasket material, potential for leaks etc etc, not to mention it would need to be thru-bolted so you'd have to stud it which means 9' more of welding.
Once I get all the measurements figured out and start building the thing, there won't be a need to ever go back into the tank. If the Bosch pump fits, the Denso certianly will. Thats about the only thing I would ever change, except I MIGHT have to go to a Wema sender as opposed to the stocker, which blows, becuase the stocker is the best sender I have ever used and I spent $87 on one less than a year ago.  Oh well, Alex will get some good use out of it I suppose.... no he won't, he's using an S5 dash, and I believe the resistance is different... regardless, I think the fuel cells that you are referring to anyway house an internal bladder and the top is just that, a top for a cell where no fuel is ever in contact with it.
I drew up a pic of it, I'll snap a pic of the pic and post it up tomorrow.... err later today.
