Default cossie PAS tank pressure

im in need of a PAS tank for my 2wd cossie was wondering what sort of pressure the whole PAS system has as was thinking about using a different type of tank for it (like and small typre header tank from a different car)but want to make sure it can cope with the pressure.

The tank itself is not under pressure, it serves to fill the pump and as a return for the fluid that is pushed through the rack when operating, but the actual tank is vented to the air.

There is a bleed sequence but I have never found it needed on a cossie, so should be ok.
