Replacement Fuel Tank Recommendations

[Techstudent]

Greetings!

I pulled the original fuel tank and brought it to a local radiator shop for cleaning. They started soaking it and found it to be leaking.

I would like to purchase a simple replacement steel tank (the same capacity is fine). Wondering if you might suggest a good quality replacement. I see several options: Rock Auto has a Liland Global Tank at $220.00. The Wild Horses setup with new strap, fuel filler hose and sending unit runs $245.00.
Other options?

Any differences In steel quality on these vendor tanks?

Thanks for help/suggestions!

Choosing between those two I would buy the one from Wild Horses, it is a better deal than the one from Rock Auto since it comes with other parts you will probably need and likely to be better quality if there is a difference between them.

Thanks for the response!

Spotted a replacement kit through Toms Bronco Parts. Looks to be a galvanized tank which may be a better option.

I'm guessing plastic is the way to go but I prefer to stick with a steel tank.

I have been running a plastic one for a decade and love it. Never worry about rust or welding slab inside of it.
It's tough as nails too. Real thick poly ethylene.

Hey TechStudent,
I just replaced my stock tank with a Sherman 23 gallon one. 50 bucks and you pay shipping and it's yours, if you want it, complete with sending unit. Doesn't leak and was working perfectly when I removed it. I think it's about 8 years old. I can get you picks when I get home on Sunday. Shipping will be from Houston. PM me if interested.

Cheers, Bill

Might have issues with shipping a used tank. There are restrictions on shipping used parts that hold fluids especially combustible ones.

I just installed a Toms steel tank, no issues.
Make sure you order everything needed. Hoses and straps and j bolt of your are questionable.
