[Rick Fisk]

Replacement tanks available are made in Canada I believe.  They DON'T have a drain.  :-(

Don't get me wrong I prefer stock or nos for all my vechicles but it always seemed like an off the shelf replacement would do fine with the exception of Made in China.....LOL. I do remember Frank telling me how importiant the fitting was on our stock tanks and that I should never damage the fitting as it was not replaceable so I always was careful and still have my original tank. Are replacement tanks a POS or what?
