Thought I would add thier pretty much comparable to any fuel tanks as far as prices thier not nessasarilly overpriced

I guess I could give him a little slack. Maybe he’s just busy as the rest of us.

Dont know if these are what you're looking for. I was planning on cutting the fuel neck out of one to fabricate a filler neck for my flatbed pickup.

True. I had a couple round aluminum tanks made for my B-61 and the price was pretty much the same after dollar exchange and such as the new squares offered by Watts other than shipping.

I am kind of confused just out of curiosity I was looking at a bunch of old posts of B models and it looks like they were using both styles newer and earlier rounded versions. I’m not sure what’s happening there. I’m not a big authority on B model .

don’t understand why they’re using both unless some of these guys have changed them to the later so style ones somewhere along the line… bob

Last, when I got was out of a wrecking yard of an F model, UPS tractor only paid 50 bucks. It was a little too long. I was going to have a shortened but decided to just reroute my exhaust around it since shortening the tank would probably be couple hundred bucks . That’s if I could find anyone at all to do it around here … bob
