Yep, he's sending me one as we speak.MOPARMITCH has a bunch of OEM gas tank rings, the aftermarket ones always leak.

Mitch is apparently a busy fella. I notice he's advertising on several different forums/websites. Must be a handful to keep track of.Lucky you...I sent him a PM a week ago, and never even got a reply.
I PM'd him this morning. It did get lost in the shuffle.Mitch is apparently a busy fella. I notice he's advertising on several different forums/websites. Must be a handful to keep track of.
Who knows? Maybe he's nervous about shipping that far away?
Yeah, that hand pumping crap gets old quick. I bought one from Advance and only managed about 2/3 of what was in the tank. It NEVER started siphoning on its' own, probably because it had to go a little uphill out of the filler neck of the tank.I just resealed my new sender to my new tank yesterday. What a PITA. Now, I just have to get it to the gas station and cross my fingers that it worked this time with the Mopar locking ring I got from Moparmitch. I've used a $12 hand pump I got from Amazon to empty the tank (twice) into 5 gallon cans. I just hooked it up to the outlet on the sending unit and it pulled the tank almost dry. I've got 5/16" lines, but the hose would likely fit 3/8" as it's not snug on my lines.

I figured. It happens. You get vibes from folks as to whether or not they have integrity and I think Mitch is OK.I PM'd him this morning. It did get lost in the shuffle.
This one probably is a Spectra, I just can't remember/find any records of it.No leaks or problems with a Spectra tank installed on my 72 Dart 5 years ago, didn't have any leaks, but I don't recall if I kept the old o-ring or lockdown.
I was a bit disappointed it had cross-hatch stiffening molded in, but I admit it's probably stronger for that. The 72 is no show car.
No, it had ribs molded in that crossed in a squared pattern, original had stiffening just side-to-side.This one probably is a Spectra, I just can't remember/find any records of it.
Stiffening molded in? Sounds like its' fiberglass or something?
I shot mine with a 'clear' satin from Lowe's. That was over 4yrs ago. Still looks like a brand new bare metal tank.Giving some thought to actually painting the tank.
Somebody PLEASE talk me out of it!
That's what I do also, After I clean it with Parts Cleaner. Works Great !I shot mine with a 'clear' satin from Lowe's. That was over 4yrs ago. Still looks like a brand new bare metal tank.
How weird.No, it had ribs molded in that crossed in a squared pattern, original had stiffening just side-to-side.
Well, as you can see from the pics, I think mine's a tad ugly to shoot clear now. Would have been fine when brand new, I suppose.I shot mine with a 'clear' satin from Lowe's. That was over 4yrs ago. Still looks like a brand new bare metal tank.
