Volks, I have read all the posts on gas tank lists and have found some possible alternative gas tanks commercially available for the racing industry. In the Summitt Racing catalog (obtain one by calling 800-230-3030) there are at least 2 fuel "cells) offered at good prices. These are polyethylene tanks in various gallon sizes, (there is a 16 gallon) set to go with all fittings for as little as $101.00. The premium cell or tank is $158.00 and a mounting for either is only $20.00. There would be shipping but no tax on this in all states except OH. These tanks wold have to be fitted with necks to accept the fueling hose as they have aircraft style caps with them flush mounted. This mod should not be difficult. The vent lines and gas lines are all there. Tank leakers take a look! Regards Mark B. Magee 87GL 83K Kemah TX "Ein fantiker au Jesu"
