4th gen gas tank

Hi:
Where do you guys buy your 4th gen plastic gas tank for 3rd gen LS swap? I can't find any new one listed on auto part websites. I see hawks has used one but I don't find anything on Rockauto or similar websites.
Thanks

I bought mine from a guy parting out a 4th gen on Craigslist. Where are you located?

Facebook classifieds and LS1 tech would a couple of good choices as well.

I am in WA and have been looking at CL but I have not come across anything so far. It is surprising there is no new ones listed on part stores.

You can only get the steel replacement 4th gen tanks new. If you want the plastic one, you'll have to get one from a car the is coming apart

Re: 4th gen gas tank

I am not oppose to steel tank but I even don't see that.
One question about the 4th gen tanks: do V6 and V8 use the same tank with just different fuel pump rating?

Re: 4th gen gas tank

The V8 has an internal regulator while the V6 does not. Depending on what your plan is it may or may not be an issue for ya
