sorry to hijack this thread, but could fiberglass be used to make a petrol tank?

Yes, one of the reasons the VER was developed was to make chemical resistant tanks.

will stock standard fiberglass be ok or would i need speical stuff?

Yes, stock standard glass is fine, but the type of weave is going to have some importance in regards to strength. In other words, don't just build it all out of CSM. The resin is the important part, don't just use any old polyester resin for it, use a vinylester designed for the job.
