So this is interesting to me because I'm also playing the space game with my Mk5 build. The usual Moroso and similar tanks might fit. But I'm also looking at alternatives. One possibility I'm looking at is the Mishimoto MMRT-MUS-24. For 2024+ Mustangs and is more square and deeper. But I digress and will be interested in how this tank works for you. For grins, I looked inside the Moroso tank in my Coupe. Even though it has coolant, I was able to confirm (1) there are no internal baffles, and (2) the two small connections at the top don't go anywhere. They stop after going through the sides. I thought maybe one or both routed to the bottom into fluid or whatever. Not the case. Since that tank has worked fine on the Coupe and my previous Roadster (plus many other builders) I'm thinking any tank with similar plumbing would also work. Like the one you are looking at. My only thought (concern...) about that tank is (1) Less capacity. An issue? (2) The Ford cap is rated for 21 PSI. That's relatively high for a standard cap like the one in the picture you posted. I don't know if it matters. Good luck.
