TTR Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Does anyone know if quality reproduction fuel tanks are available for PB and if yes, where would one be able to purchase them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesLay Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 i had a welding and fabracation shop make mine, i dont think they are available, inever could find a new one,save and reuse filler neck and sending unit flange , a guy told me he reused every thing and just had a new center rolled, orig tanks where soldered together.i didnt put the baffles back in mine so my gas gauge floats around abit. mine is all mig welded together. i olny reused flanges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTR Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 Thank you for the reply Mr. Lay. While a fabrication is a viable option which I could accomplish myself, I think buying one, if they exist in reasonably good quality, would be easier. Anyone else ?

DFeeney Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I have a 28 + 29 Plymouth. both have bad gas tanks. I was able last year to find two good used tanks on line at a reasonable cost. I believe most Mopar gas tanks 28/32 are the same. Keep looking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTR Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Thanks to all who replied so far. While my tank isn’t really bad, I recently tried to remove its drain plug without success and ended up pumping the fuel out instead, so decided to look into a replacement. Unless I can (easily) find really a nice OEM type NOS, reproduction or used one, looks like I may have to make one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
