I've only welded a few times before and only have MIG available.

to be honest, learning to weld a stainless or alloy fuel tanks is not what i would recommend. it would be fun, but safety is an issue.. you will probably have to get the tank 'engineer approved'.
i would suggest that you get the sheet, cut it to the correct sizes, and then get a professional welder to put it together. it would probably cost less this way than to get the wire and gas yourself and then learn to do it, and it will be done to a much higher quality by someone who does it all day everyday... also might help to consult the welder about the construction, ie 1mm overhang, butt joints, bevelled edges etc..
not trying to rain on your parade, but might save you a lot of time and pain
