Default What to build a small nitrous fuel cell out of?

What material would you guys use? I have a decent car pump and was going ot add a regulator on the side. I'm taxing my vettes factory fuel system on motor so I thought this would be a good way to run the bottle. I plan on running some high octane race gas for the added safety.

I know people make the small fuel cell setup, but I'd like to make my own. Any ideas for a fill, breather or sending unit. Examples would be great

Aluminium......Look at the HSW Stand Alone System.....I think it would be hard to build one for much less money than these sell for.

Well I figured aluminum or stainless, but wasn't sure what grade of metal to use(if it would matter). I can build one a lot cheaper than those and it helps to have a fuel pump from a old car. Vettes due suck for location if I don't move the battery so I might have to fab up something rather than use a pre-existing cell.

If I do it it will be right. I build everything I can on all my cars and have been for years.
