I'm at the point where I need to build a gas tank or 2. The sport
plane builder book shows a great way to do a custom tank but materials
it calls for are not listed (or I'm reading it wrong) so, any
recommondations on a foam core that will stand up to gas? Any
recommondations for a fiberglass system? I'm all ears, or in this case
eyes.

If it's a relatively simple shape & you aren't just addicted to resin
fumes, aluminum works great & stands up to just about any fuel. If you
don't have access to a bending brake, most sheet metal shops can do the
bends for you. If flanges are external to the tank volume, you can seal
the joints with 'proseal' & rivet it with 'pulled' rivets.
