Hi,
Current gas tank is rusted out on the inside and clocking up fuel line. Recommendations on sources for a replacement tank?

Many places supply them and also supply good and bad examples so hunt around especially where shipping is likely.
The Canadian-made Spectra Premium tanks are among the best. You want the GM203 model. I now have this tank after shipping it around the world. I also tried the Spectra Taiwanese-made standard tank and it didn't fit very well and was returned. This same tank is probably marketed under several names.
Here's the good one:

(Made in North America! Because no one wants to say Canada)

I bought a stainless steel fuel tank from rockauto, maybe 2 weeks ago.
Needs to grind of a bit from the filler neck. But after all, a great investment. It will never rust again

it's the LILAND GLOBAL IGM203SS .
Perfect combination with a stainless fuel sending unit and maybe stainless fuel lines.

Let us know how it fits. Did they send it from the US or drop-shipped from wherever the factory is, Taiwan I'd say?

they've shipped from US not Taiwan or any other country.
I only needed to fix the part where the fuel cap goes on. Grind a bit of the stainless material off. All other fitment was great.
And that fix got me 20 bucks back from rockauto
. Not a bad deal.
