Has anyone built or modified a vendors gas tank? I want to build or buy a 16-18 gallon SS tank set up for either internal or external fuel pump or carb. Maybe I’m expecting too much from a tank. A 23 gallon tank was too big for me on my 76. I’d go almost a year before filling it back up bc I didn’t drive it that often. Plus it hangs down a lot in the back even after adjusting the height to my 20 body lift.
Ive contacted Aero and they only do mild steel tanks. I contacted a restomod tank fabricator and they want just a little less that $2k. I spoke to a well respected builder and he no longer builds his own tanks now that WH has a SS 23 gal Sherman tank.
Does anyone have a good reputable fabricator that can build me a tank? I’d almost build one out of cardboard and transfer the numbers to SS or aluminum. I’m curious if anyone has gone down this path of hardship like I’m doing.
