Question RV-8 composite fuel tanks

With all the shops making carbon fiber and composite parts, why doesn't someone make carbon fiber or composite fuel tanks for the RV 7/8?

Default Proseal!

If the tanks were made of composite, we would not have the opportunity to hate on proseal! I actually didn't build my tanks, since I bought a quickbuild, but I did get to put the fuel level sender on. That gave me a nice taste of proseal, and it was not really that big of a deal. The tanks are pretty light - do you think there would be some advantages to making the from composites?
