Re: Gas tank help!

Salvage yard I don't know about quality or avalibiity
of new replacement tanks.If you have fuel injection or
plan to,get a tank meant for fuel injection as those
have a plastic tray inside that the fuel pickup sits in
in order to keep fuel from sloshing away from the pickup
when fuel is low.

I do not know what it is like where you live... here they puncture and drain all tanks when they get them in a junkyard.

Should be able to get a replacement new from spectra or somebody...
Do yourself a favor and install a new pump and stuff if F.I.
