Why wouldn't they be legal? The car has no fancy evaporative emissions systems and all newer cars have plastic tanks.

agree with Christoff

cant see any reason why not when most new vehicles have them.

is there any kind of standard/approval mentioned on the manufacturers website?

I want to get a plastic tank but I want one that goes where the current one is. As in, a plastic reproduction of the metal one I've got. It would solve my blockage problems permanently.
