Default Stainless Steel Fuel Tank

I'm starting on building a new Stainless fuel tank for the back of my Cobra.

I'm getting rid of the external swirl pot setup and the lift pump etc. The swirl pot will be in the tank along with a bunch of baffling.

I have a Bosch 044 pump and this will be mounted on the outside of the tank but low down so it'll have a head of fuel directly from the internal swirl pot.

This will simplify the plumbing and wiring of the whole thing and tidy up the underside of the car.

I have question for you quys. What thickness of stainless do you think I should use? I was thinking 1.6mm or 0.060" would be plenty thick enough. I might even get away with something thiner.

Cheers
