Mr.Pink Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hey, I'm in need of a rust free fuel tank from a 1975 or 1976 280Z. It's the one thing holding up my build. The only place around here I can find that refurbishes them wants almost $400 to do it. That's a bit more than I'm willing fork over. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Located in Western Washington. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler031734 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The place down the street from me wanted $300. I went to home depot, bought some muriatic acid for $10 and cleaned it myself. There are directions online. To get the last bit of water out after rinsing the tank I would use a high percentage rubbing alcohol and go from there.

Mr.Pink Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 I've been doing a lot of research on it. I could clean it out myself, I'm just not overly confident about the reseal. That and I don't have much down time and the process takes a long time from what I've I read. It sucks no one makes them anymore. I guess the demand just isn't there. My father rebuilt a '66 Mustang and bought a new tank for around $75.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
