Pretty thin HDPE, but if it can hold the weight of 5 gallons of water it can hold 5 gallons of fuel. And it was only 14 bucks, so if it doesn't work out, so be it.
Jet-A nozzles are 2.6" across. Some are round and others are a smaller diameter round tubes that are flattened to a minimum of 2.5" across to prevent them from working on avgas aircraft.

Tailwinds,
