I know Dante's sells there's for $225 for the 'A' body's

I found a few New ones on ebay for $140ish. Just trying to get a '74 Dart Swinger DD on the road.

The tank is rusty it clogged the Sock on the Sender and the sender was block too.
Any thoughts on the POR-15 gas tank kit? It probably costs as much as this $140 tank


'75 CJ5 with all glass body and a 350 Chevy SB
'85 Chevy Stepside (the wife's)
'89 Volvo
All 100% maintained by me.
'70 valiant DD for my son
'74 Dart Swinger..Latest endeavor

After cleaning and sealing a few tanks, I would rather buy a new tank at $140. I believe the repro tanks are most all made from a MFG in Canada and the quality is good for the two I've installed. I bought a $140 tank off eBay and it was the same tank as the much more expensive one I'd bought previously.

Of the tank sealers I researched, all had a warning about a chemical you cannot put in the tank after sealing. Most all octane boosters have one of the chemicals you are warned not to use. Of the types of tank sealers available, I've used the one that is not sensitive to MEK.
