Gas Tank & Parts

[Maxrat]

I need to get a new fuel tank and related hoses. Might as well get the float too. Any suggestions on where to get a good reproductions. I'm not sure how the original tank was coated. What was the original coated with --- Niterne or zinc?

I don't know what yr car ur needing a fuel tank for, but the older cars used to have a hi lead content in their tank metal. Made it very easy to modify or repair , as long as a guy could remove the fumes .

Didn`t catch that !
66`s had a hi lead content too , very easy to repair if u can get the fumes all out.
Don't know when it was changed because of the lead thing--------probly in the 70`s ??

I got a tank for 67 RT from Vans. They seem to have a good selection of tanks, senders and now connection tubes. No idea what the differences are from Coronet to Charger in these years but I would start there. Also, be prepared to have issues with the float adjustment. I haven’t found a sender that actually read accurately without tweaking the float arm.

All 66-67 B bodies used the same tank. A lot of the suppliers have them.

Spectra makes a nice tank.

Their sending units are good also. Didn't have to calibrate the one I bought and it's right on.

Just save your old locking ring. It's heavier than the replacements out there.

I agree with Spectra. I have a fuel cell but looked at a Spectra model...

Vans.
I would highly recommend stainless for the obvious reasons.
Do it once.
It fits as original.
The duel exhaust fit better with the second tank, (stainless) because the exhaust system of this particular car was fabricated around an original tank.
