For Sale N. Calif: Dec 72 FJ55 gas tank - gone into dump (1 Viewer)

Location

United States

As promised, it arrived at the dump.

Gas tank is located outside of Georgetown, CA.

I've got a good condition gas tank from a Dec 1972 FJ55. Inside looks great. Has sender but I don't know if it works(again, looked good)

This is the style that bolts to the body.

I'd like $50 for it. I'd rather not ship but I will work with a MudShip you arrange.

At end of July, it heads to the dump.

Hey John, can you post a picture of the ports?

Did this go to the dump? Please say no

I got delayed for dump run. But @PabloCruise is currently talking with me about it. If it falls through, you can be next. Keep in mind large oversized box so shipping is probably high to go coast to coast.

Thanks John.
This looks like my huckleberry, but I do not *need* this tank. If @Blastservices needs it, I will step aside.

Mine appears to have had the entire top lopped off and accessed then braised back together. Has about 15 leaks and the truck is on a lift inop until I find a solution.
@PabloCruise id be super appreciative if you were that kind!

I’ll pay shipping no matter what of course

I am officially stepping aside so the party from Clearwater can make good use of this tank!

@Blastservices - I wonder if you would consider a request? If you think that is an original tank that is beyond repair, would you consider cutting it open so we can see how the lines in the top and bottom of the tank are plumbed?

I have always been curious where the vent lines run (probably to the top 4 corners), and where the fuel suction pick up originates, and where the fuel return line dumps.

If this is not possible on your end, I understand!

I’ll see what I can do!
much appreciated

@Blastservices I'll work with you through PM on the tank. But to confirm, yours does bolt to the body and not the frame right?

Yes! Four bolts through the seem right to the bottom of the body. The piping is slightly different but I can plug.

Thanks.

I think we have a thread in here dedicated to fuel tanks.

I replied in your thread, but this should be the correct tank for a 9/73 Pig

This thread has a lot of detail on fuel tanks: anybody ever put an fj40 fuel tank in an fj55? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/anybody-ever-put-an-fj40-fuel-tank-in-an-fj55.1247738/

Your pics would be a great addition!
