Need Replacement GT500 Gas Tank Ideas

Post by BLAZY »

The radiator shop just told me my gas tank "swiss cheesed" and developed multiple holes and cracks once they started cleaning it. I half expected this, since it already had several pinhole leaks and the tunnel area was very rusty.

None of the used GT500/T500 tanks I've seen online look any better. I'd hate to buy an old tank just to discover it's no good.

Short of spending $400 plus for a cafe style tank that I'll have to adapt, or taking a risk on a used tank, do I have any options?

Anybody got a decent tank they'll sell me?

Thanks in advance.
