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

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.

Can you use a FI tank and modify it and/or run new vent and return hoses to for your needs?

How about a 15 gallon fuel cell. Lots of vendors including Amazon sell those for $150-$200.
