I'm not familiar with the 10gal tanks in the Mk3, but here's the exact
match for the 5gal tank that was in the old Twinstar I restored.
https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=33323
That company has a *lot* of tanks, from tanks actually certified by the
gub'mnt for gasoline transport to what I just linked. Might be worth
digging around in their site.

Is there a tank at that manufacturer that is listed for use with fuel?
I ask because they indicate on the website: " Not for fuels or oils & does not
meet UN standards "

Sorry; didn't know the plane would be in UN service. ;-)
As I said, the company does sell tanks that are 'officially' rated for
fuel, if you want to pay for them. Got a pic of the original Kolb tank
you're replacing? I'd be surprised if it's approved for UN service (or
gasoline), either. To get a feel for what mfgrs' and vendors' legal
departments write: see this Aircraft Paint Remover?
http://kleanstripauto.com/products/aircraft-paint-remover
If you read the label, they tell you in bold, all caps: 'DO NOT USE ON
AIRCRAFT'.
The Kolb website shows a 5 gal tank for the Mk3 priced at $50.
http://www.kolbaircraft.com/markiiipartslist.htm
If it's rated for UN service, they are being very charitable to their
customers with their pricing.
In this article about the Mk3Xtra by Dan Johnson, there's a pic showing
2 of the 5gal tanks that I linked earlier.
https://bydanjohnson.com/pilotreport/refined-kolb-mark-iii-xtra/
Here's a link to a post I made a few years ago, showing the original
Twinstar 5gal tank, the replacement tank I linked earlier, and an 8gal
tank I sourced from the same company and actually installed in the Twinstar.
