I have the old fuel tank from my '82 diesel, free for the taking. It leaks from the top somewhere, is ugly and rusty on top, although solid - I could find no holes. Could probably be restored using POR or Masterseries, as the inside looks fairly clean. I decided to buy a new tank from CIP1.com for $150. The original tanks are definitely nicer quality though. Early style with large filler hole. If no takers, I'll be taking in for scrap metal soon.
