Gas-tankary, where to find one?

Well, I pulled my gas tank on my 70' jeepster to find what looks like turtle soup and wood varnish on the inside. I searched a few places online for a new tank with no luck, any help out there? I would have it resealed but the welded mounting bracket on the side is the culprit and I think it would leak again. I'd really like to just put a new one in.

Sounds exactly like the one on my 70, same thing right down to the mounting bracket.
A couple of good links to aftermarket tanks because, unfortunately, no one makes an exact replacement for 67-71 Jeepsters. Ebay would be the best source for a used or one the parts for sale section on the JCCA or the AJC.
Another option that was just recently posted is to get one for a 72/73 Commando as these are identical to the CJ and are still available new. You will need a filler tube from the 72/73 or you will have to modify what you have. You'll also have to relocate the tank mounting brackets. You would also need a sending unit. Whatever way you go you will have to modify.

 

Yeah you are pretty much sol as far as a replacment goes. The tank on my 71 was full of holes so I relined it with a product called Red Cote. Three months in and so far so good, and it only cost me 36.00 in comparision to having it done at a garage for 100.00 or better.

Ah yes, thanks Rich, forgot all about Don having those.

 

have you tried jcwhitney?

 

Was it hard to do that? I've got problems with some rust clogging up my fuel line, & need to seal the tank . . . or just by a new one, but it's hard to get the bride to let me pony up $100 for a new tank right now.
