Need 78 FJ40 Gas tank

[V8FJ4078]

Hello!

Anyone have a GOOD used gas tank for under the seat of a 78 FJ40? Mine has collapsed from too much suction, a line must have been clogged that let air into the tank as the fuel was pulled out.

I might just buy a new one from CCOT not a bad price, then I don't have to worry about rust for a while.

Wanted to see if anyone had one they wanted to get rid of.....

email me - craig@merkey.com

Thanks!
Craig

Wow, and I thought the Merkey family were the goto people to get parts. Wish I could help. You're list seems a little short for current members. I may be wrong but I remember cashing a few more checks than the list has. I'm sure we will rectify it in short order between you, me, Jeff and Rob. Good luck with the tank.

Have 2 of them in my yard wrapped in trashbags. If you can, swing by and see if one tickles your fancy. There both from 78'S.

Yes, have LOTS of parts....just not a good tank.

Lost of tanks that need just a little work....but looking to get mine back together...

The list we need to get together on....have a few bad emails too!

Craig, IMHO, go original equipment.. no need to go through this process of replacing the tank every few years... they are all 30 years old unless they come off the shelf. Fuel stinks!

I did have that same thought....(this is the 2nd time I am doing this!!)

Craig,

You can have my old one for free!

It is in great shape - I bought a new one because the fuel filter kept clogging. If you clean it good and use something to seal it it will be great.

Let me know,
Andy

I once had a shop dip and seal my old FJ-25 fuel tank.... worked well and was not too costly. Seems like it was a radiator shop.....

I have one out of a 73, not sure if they are similar or not, pretty sure it is good, been siting in the shed for a few years empty.
