Replace FJ60 fuel tank

[tzicali]

I'm in the process of bobbing my FJ60, '83. The fuel tank has to be relocated, but I noticed that the top of fuel lines cap is rusted and leaking, also the sending unit is rusted on top.

I managed to remove them but broke the lines, no rust in the inside of the tank. I'm also a little bit confused here since the Haynes manual positions the fuel pump inside the fuel tank, but mine is in the engine compartment and in the place of the fuel pump I have only a cap with two fuel lines that go in and out of the fuel tank.

The question is, since I have the option to put a fuel tank from any other car or truck, which options do I have? I want to keep it street legal and under $150, so used from a junk yard will better, assuming is free of rust.

The haynes manual is referring to an FJ62 for the fuel pump location.

I have a lot of the hard fuel lines out of my 60 that I parted out. Let me know if you need some of them. I will not be able to ship until after the 25th.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind if I don't find another alternative. Sending unit will be good also.
