WTB '72 521 fuel tank

[Aaronstutz]

Apparently the front seam of mine has rusted away, and taken with it most of the front face of the tank.  Anybody got a spare they'd be willing to part with?  

 

Or possibly know someone who's willing to weld on one of these? 

 

I checked the junk yards, but no luck so far.

 

Cheers!

I got one. How much are gas tanks selling for these days?  :w00t:

 

Seriously, make me an offer and you cover shipping or arrange a pony express delivery :-)  I can take it as far North as Sacramento for no charge because I drive there anyway.

How many outlets does your tank have?

The fill is one, the breather next to the fill hole is two, how many more?

I have a couple 520/521 tanks out back out back, just not sure if I have the correct one.

BTW, your photos are not clear enough to tell in your thread.

Hey,

Sorry I forgot to check this thread over the weekend.

Here's a slightly clearer pic of the old tank, with arrows to the outlets:

It looks like all I have ATM is a what seems to be a 520/early 521 tank without the return/evap fitting.

It would need to be sealed on the inside as it has some rust inside it.

 

I would want $30.00 for it, otherwise I will hang on to it, let me know.

Thanks for the quick reply Wayno. I'm not too worried about some minimal rust inside (the current tank isn't too pretty in there), & that can be handled.

 

Hmm. Running it without the return would mean it simply handles evaporation through the fill, yeah? I guess that's not so bad. 

 

I'd say I'm definitely interested. And the price is right. PM me details on how/when works best to grab the tank from you?
