Hi - Thanks for posting, what year is the tank from? Condition? Thanks, RS

Tank came out of a working rig... 1974

 

[Richard Suertudo]

OK, I will get back to you tomorrow after checking the specs...RS

 

[Richard Suertudo]

Well, so far, no gas tank yet but did find out that part #'s are the same from August '76 through 1980...

What about Gary's tank?

 

[Richard Suertudo]

Gary's is still a possibility but shipping is an obstacle...as I was unable to easily switch the tank out, after draining/cleaning 2x's and thinking ours was clean, only to find not, we have spent the last week doing a repeated muriatic acid wash/rinse - hoping to hear some good news later this week...
Thanks, RS

Mine ended up with some sand in it from the time it spent sitting in New Mexico. I run a NAPA 3002 clear plastic filter right at the outlet and change it every so often when I see debris in the bottom. I'm sure with enough cycles I'll get most of it out!

 

[Richard Suertudo]

Well, mine has finally called it quits - even after the acid washes it's still producing rust from the inside. So, still looking gang, I know that the parts #'s are the same for the gas tanks from '76 - '80 so any should work, as long as their clean. Help me, I'm down & I can't get up!

Help me, I'm down & I can't get up!

I have a call into a guy with one. I'll have him contact you if I get a hold of him.

 

[Richard Suertudo]

Very cool, thanks.

If he's out West I may be able to pick-up...RS
