I believe a Truimph Spitfire will work with very few mods.

One that get's used over here a lot is a bog standard Jerry can. It carrys about 25L you can buy them brand new, then braze in all connections
etc.
Only drawback is you'll need to put in a resricted sized nozzle for unleaded only pumps if you are going through SVA.
I get a range of over 100 miles on mine which is fine for a BEC.
For a CEC you could plumb up 2 of them if desired.

Yeah the Spitfire one will work just fine. Another is Jensen Healey but they are rarely in good shape and rather pricey.
Here is the Spit tank I picked up. Might not work with IRS though.
