I have built several plywood diesel tanks that were glassed and sealed with epoxy. It takes a special epoxy (don't remember what it was) and had to be post-cured at about 140 degrees for 8 hours. They have worked fine for the past 10 years but it was a hassle and not cost effective when you consider the hours it took to build. We now go with custom built aluminum tanks to fit what ever hole we put it in.
