my semi retarded uncle decided to "fix" a fuel leak in his pos 92 Geo prism by removing the gas tank and all of its components and now hes asking me to put it all back together except he threw out all of the fasteners. :confused

my plan is to set up the car like a demo derby car with small gas can style fuel cell in the trunk.

can this be done legally/safely?
where is a good place to find a fuel cell that will work
withe factory fuel pump?

the car has 200k miles on it and parts for this car aren't cheap
so if you guys have any suggestion on how to get this car going on the cheap let me know

in my derby car i use:
a boat gas tank with a level built in- 30 bucks
An Ebay fuel pump wired to a switch- 89 bucks
the real pricy item is rubber fuel injection hose, that stuff is expensive(over 1 dollar a foot)
