Bravo28 Posted November 9, 2024 Posted November 9, 2024 Greetings all, In the market for a serviceable fuel tank. What kinda price tag might I be looking at? Thanks. 1 Quote
Patrick Tipton Posted November 9, 2024 Posted November 9, 2024 I have never seen a good one for sale. I might call around and find out who locally is building fuel cells for race cars....might be the easiest way to go. 2 1 Quote
OZM29C Posted November 9, 2024 Posted November 9, 2024 @Bravo28 I went through this same problem with my restoration and I was lucky to find a retired sheet metal tradesmen who made a reproduction tank for me using my long deceased fuel tank as a pattern. Cost me $1000AUD ($650USD) but it gave me peace of mind that there would be no fuel leakage into the hull effectively eliminating a potential fire risk. 3 Quote
Reamer Posted November 24, 2024 Posted November 24, 2024 This is what I am going to use, Tractor Supply, RDS 18 Gallon tank. I will move the "filler hole" on the Weasel at align with the tank filler and make it look authentic. 2 1 Quote
Reamer Posted January 9 Posted January 9 fits perfect side to side in original spot, I'm going to relocate the filler neck to line up with the Weasel filler cap.... 1 Quote

darth_kitten Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Was an ebay score. Not easy, not cheap on shipping either. It will need to be thoroughly cleaned inside, and there are a few areas on the bottom that will need to be repaired. Not sure about lining it, but I may end up doing that as well. Quote
Bravo28 Posted February 23 Author Posted February 23 Good on you, thanks for getting back. Good luck! Quote
