I had mine made by Premier Industries Inc. in Phoenix. As I recall, it cost around $450 to have it made. I designed the new tank and made it taller to take out all but one 3/4" piece of plywood that was above the old tank. I also made it wider on the top part because there was plenty of room. It was tight getting the new tank in, but it fit.

When I went in to have the tank made, I had the old tank as a pattern and I had cutout cardboard patterns for the new tank along with a drawing. The only issue I had is that I didn't specify that the 3" drain needed a 1/4" per foot angle when welded into the tank. I had to have it removed and a new one put in with the angle on the drain. I think it is around 20 gallons now.
If I could find a plastic manufacturer, that would probably be much cheaper, but I didn't have that available.
