Subject:      good new fuel tank source?

Can anyone suggest a good source for a new fuel tank? I ordered a new tank
from the Van-Cafe guys, but they are fresh out without a source for more.

  After a month going through every other system, I finally tracked the
running problems of my I4 conversion to a restricted fuel tank outlet. The
low flow was making the fuel pump cavitate, aerating the fuel, and making
the pump intermittently noisy. I could hear and feel the air pass through
the return line. The engine burps, misses and fluctuates at all speeds.
   I finally pulled the fuel supply line off the nipple on the tank and
got a pitiful little dribble, even with the filler cap off. It's usually
the simple things... I'm kicking myself for missing it for so long, but
static and idle fuel pressure read right so I stopped thinking clearly.

                                       thanks for your help,      sam
