DPelletier OP I Live Here D Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 15,134 Kelowna, B.C. Canada	I recently recieved my fuel tank (along with a bunch of other stuff) from Year One and besides the fact it was dented (only protected by two layers of cardboard) I was dissappointed that it is painted silver rather than zinc plated like the originals. Does anyone know if someone makes a better reproduction with the proper finish?

Phone around your local radiator/gas tank shops and price them out. You can also try the jobbers like NAPA, Canadian Tire etc. They will all have a listing, ask who makes them and see if someone will order you one so you can see it in person before you buy. I think the last one I bought was right around $200. Good luck, Dave Last edited by 69_SIX_PACK; 05/21/08 09:49 PM. www.a12mopar.com

They did the same thing with interiors when they quit using Legendary. I still cant understand why people buy anything from Year One except wiring harnesses?? Any Goodmark dealer can get you the correct gas tank! Last edited by Paul Jacobs; 05/22/08 12:27 AM.

I was in need of a fuel sending unit for my car and was looking all over so I could have one for a certain weekend. Spoke to the folks at Spectra Premium and they told me to check with Car Quest, who ordered one in from the warehouse and I had it the next day. Call your local Car Quest guy and ask them to order one in for you from Spectra. 1969 Dodge Charger R/T SE - 440 AUTO

Figures; I spent $185.49 on the tank, over $200.00 in shipping and another $200.00 plus in Duty (for a $1700.00 order). Not worth the effort to send back and no sense complaining to YO about the dent as I don't want another painted tank. Oh well, I guess someone from the club gets a freebee.

Take a couple of pictures and call YO and tell them the way it was received, and you want your money back and they can pickup the old one at their expense if they want it. If you do not get any satisfaction, ask to speak with Kevin King, I am sure he will make things right. At least you should get your 185.00 back Amazing how an unchallenged lie can become the absolute truth.

There may be a chance that they'll tell you to simply scrap the tank and refund your money to your credit card. A couple years back they sent me a wiring harness for a '71 Charger instead of a '69 and they sent a replacement and told me to keep the other. 1969 Dodge Charger R/T SE - 440 AUTO

I imagine your tired of shipping and customs etc, but hear is another option for the Spectra tank: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1082348,parttype,6268 (You may have to cut and paste the whole link into your browser)

Buying one on E-bay, waiting for it to arrive in a month and finding out that it's dented or the finish isn't correct isn't something I'm prepared to deal with. One of my Mopar buddies had a "discussion" with Spectra on why the tank (made in Canada) can be purchased through Summit for half the price as their Canadian distributors, but (big surprise) they didn't much care. By the time I deal with the shipping and duty again, I'd eat up most of the savings anyway. I'm certainly paying for the convenience, but it will be hand delivered to me in my office tomorrow. ....patience isn't one of my virtues and it's lack is an expensive character flaw on occassion. I will try to talk to Year One out of general principle and I'll let you know how that goes. Gary, that's a small dent compared to mine!

Canada	OK, the plot thickens; The tank I rec'd from Year One has another box inside the YO box and it has a part number on it # CCR9C. The Spectra part number I ordered from Lordco is CR9C and that's too close for comfort as I now suspect that the YO tank came from Spectra. A call into Spectra yielded nothing useful other than an assurance that thier tanks are "high end". I guess I'll find out tomorrow but if I just paid over $600.00 for the same tank I got from YO for $185.00, I'm going to be annoyed. Sigh nothing is ever easy in this hobby!

I am pretty Sure Cross Canada and Sherman Parts are basically the same company and Sherman sell the overseas gas tanks. Spectra sells the best gas tank out there. So you should be happy with that one.

Correct part number CR9C......(drumroll please).....it is IDENTICAL to the painted silver tank I recieved from Year One. It even has the two ECS nipples. It seems when you order it withough California Emmissions, you get two rubber plugs! Funny, the second tank (CR9A - Charger tank) with the right finish had no ECS tubes and used different construction methods for the welds. Both painted tanks, the one from YO and the one from Spectra used a radius weld on the corner pinches. I should post some pics. So to recap then: $ 1,515.00 so far and still no decent fuel tank. I'll keep you posted. .......next time I'll buy a car that someone ELSE had to restore!

All of the grommets/accessories use the same part number. Part numbers on the tanks are very similar (CCR9C, CR9A (Charger), CR9C) - I believe all the tanks were made by Spectra - Tank #1 and tank #3 are identical except for the dent and $480.00! . Neither are acceptable, primarily due to the painted finish. Paying $665.00 for a gas tank is bad enough, but it ain't gonna happen for one with a spray bomb silver paint job. I will keep you all posted in case this helps anyone else.

DPelletier OP I Live Here D Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 15,134 Kelowna, B.C. Canada	Alright: UPDATE I just recieved tank #4. It IS the right tank AND it has the correct finish. Only minor problems are the ECS nipples and some bending of the flanges at the corners. So I finally have a tank that is satisfactory that I can use. Yes, it did cost me $685.00 This latest tank is IDENTICAL in all construction details to the CR9A tank sent previously (excepting the Charger filler location obviously). I believe that ALL FOUR tanks were made by Spectra Premium; - they all have a Made In Canada sticker - They all have similar/identical part numbers - the accessory grommets are all stamped "Made In Canada" and all have the same LO06 part number. It would appear to me that they have two lines: a budget one and a more correct one. The budget line is characterized by the painted finish, raised numbers stamped into the top and the radius corner welds. The more correct one is raw metal/galvanized finish, has the square, overlapping corner welds and has the identifying information on a sticker with no stamped numbers on the tank. ........only problem is that these two are being used interchangeably. They probably don't think most people care.

Perhaps, or maybe there was a change in the manufacturing process and one type is newer than the other.

One puzzling thing is that the Charger tank ( CR9A ) didn't have the nipples.

More often than not the appearance looks crappy, even if the integrity of the tank is sound. In the case of a car like Dave's, which is an "all out" rotisserie restoration, then a weathered, dented, original tank just isn't appropriate. MB

MB In my case, not only was the tank dented and weathered, it also was severely rusty inside (I was actually able to pour out a quantity of scale!). With all new fuel lines, pump, carbs, etc. I wanted to ensure that the entire fuel system was new and clean.
