Im working on a 85 Brazillian Double cab - (posting in this forum per Everett)
This thing is such a mismash of parts its kind of crazy.
Has anyone seen a tank like this for sale? it looks like a split bus tank but It has a metal filler tube that just slides into the tank with a seal, vent nipples, and a late sending unit

What will you do when the label comes off and the plastic's all melted and the chrome is too soft? ~FZ |

| I think one of the vendors is importing the Brazillian tank. Could be wishful thinking on top of a bad memory though. |

thanks guys, Antonio didnt have it.
I cant even find a photo of that tank online, let alone a vendor selling it.
Anyone know what tank I can swap it out with? This one is rusted with pinholes all around the tap.
Its a double cab if that matters. _________________ 1960 36hp sedan- 1978 adventurewagen
