Custom fuel bladder source

I have an odd-shaped space at the back of a full keel that I'd like to fill with a diesel bladder. If I could use it all, there'd be over 18 gallons. A check of the internet brings up stock bladders, which are square-ish, and very expensive custom ones.
Anyone know who is making custom-shaped diesel bladder tanks at a reasonable price? Has anyone used a stock bladder in an odd space and found it to fill the space all right? Perhaps if it's bigger than the space, and just fills baggy?
I don't want to line the space with a hard tank, since the bladder needs to be removable, and bladders don't have the same condensation issues, which is important.
Thanks in advance.

I've heard good things about bladders from these guys: https://atlinc.com/index.html


And they do offer different shapes (and I think they'll do custom work).
