Bill,
Tanks seem to be a pain... it's tough to get 'em clear enough to weld on, and
I'd be way
careful about bringing in to the house....
ATL is still in business in Ramsey, they might make a fuel cell or a bladder to
fit your
old tank. I saw an ad in Grassroots Motorsports and I filed the information
away in case
I needed it. As I remember they had fuel cells as low as $180. Might be worth a
try.
Those "universal" aluminum replacement tanks seem way $$$ @ $600!!
