plastic gas tank

[blazer bill]

I Pulled My Gas Tank Off And It Had Quite A Bit Of Rust In It. Most Of The Places I`ve Been Looking For A Replacement Are Metal Has Anyone Seen A Replacement Thats Plastic.

Yup, there is a Polyethelane (sp?) tank made that is a direct replacement. You do have to extend the filler hose because the neck on the poly tank is much shorted than the metal one.
What I did was cut off the metal filler neck, then cut the rubber filler hose in half and put the metal neck into the rubber hose to make it longer.
I think I got mine from brotherstrucks.com
I don't have the tank anymore as I upgraded to a 37gal tank from North West Metal Products.
I ran the plastic one for about 2yrs and the only problem I had was the sending unit's rubber seal or O-ring would let gas out when I filled the tank to the top, gas would drip out the top until the level droped..a new o-ring probly would have fixed that....
Good Luck

I have on in my Burb (same as Blazer) and I had the same leak. I fixed it by bending the tabs on the lock ring down a little bit to provide more sealing pressure. Otherwise no issues.

I have the plastic tank also and same leak here. Seems ok if I stop filling after the nozzle cut off but if I try to top it off then it leaks.

With the price of gas now days I don`t think I`ll be filling my tank full.
