Gas tank needed...

[89Tonto]

Other than scanning the web/ebay, anyone have a good source for a SWB gas tank?

Anything over 3/4 tank full starts dripping on the ground. :oops:

Thanks!!

It probably isn't your tank that's leaking.

 

I replaced the tank in my '87, drove to the gas station to enjoy my first fill-up in over a year -- and was astonished to find gasoline pouring out onto the pavement as I pumped. What happens is that the hard tubes for the gas lines break loose from the mounting plate where they go through the plate into the tank. Replacement fuel pumps don't include the mouting flange, so a new fuel pump probably isn't the answer.

 

I saw a post by someone (don't remember if it was here or on NAXJA) who just epoxied around the tubes and solved the problem. Once the ground here dries up a bit I'll do that to mine.

 

Fill yours to the point where it starts to drip, then crawl under and take a careful look at where it's coming from.

it could be leaking from around the pump. that's what mine did. si i just replaced it with an XJ tank.......but i don't think that it would work with your bed. :wink:

I have a new in the box Long bed tank In my garage I will sell you. I ended up cutting my rig up, and sold my street jeep , so I have no need for it anymore. Let me know if you are interested.
