Default Have you considered having one made

Hi Beau

As you have probably noticed the availability CMP gas tanks is very limited, read that as scarce. Hope you can find good usable tank.

I need two at the moment and am planning to look at making them they really are pretty simple it is the seam welding that is the big deal in getting a leak-less tank. Before I try I'm considering just tanking my sample tank to a local sheet metal fabrication shop and asking them for a price.

One of the hard bits to find is the filler spout but that is not as bad as it looks as it is basically a standard Ford filler spout for the cab mounted fuel tank of the 30-40-50s same bell shape.

Take a look at the dimensions and construction of my sample tank

Keep us posted on how your search goes, and if you happen to find a warehouse full of NOS tanks, oh well we can dream.

Cheers Phil
