[rene dominguez]

anybody have a fuel tank for sale?..or should i look into buying a new fuel tank...anybody have a idea the price of a new tank,,80gal 1979 233 thunderbird

replaced the tank in my '79 interceptor 4 yrs ago (corroded thru near the top of the tank.)  had a new 80 gal tank made by Atlantic Coastal Welding in bayville,NJ (don't know how close you are.)    cost me $950 with shipping.  had a few problems initially (fill and vent nipples were installed at the wrong angle and after they corrected that, the tank was full of debris and had to get sent back again.)  anyway,they corrected all that at their expense and the tank has been fine since.  as for getting a used tank, well, you've already GOT a used one -don't you??  way too much work to have to do twice imo.

Good afternoon Mr. Dominguez,

I removed mine from my '78 and it was corroded beyond belief!  (And I have no idea if and/or when it was ever replaced!)  

In my opinion, I think it would be beneficial to purchase a new tank.  Yes, I know it will be slightly more expensive but you will then have the peace of mind knowing it is new and has been pressure tested.

You might save a few dollars here and there but honestly, how many of us really want to go through the time and effort that it takes to remove and re-install a fuel tank??  (Especially after you just finished installing the "New" tank and you just finished pouring new foam in to secure it in place!) 

Again, these are just my opinions and I truly hope I didn't offend any of you who are selling used tanks!!

Henry
