Emissions or non-emissions?

Do you want new, or just reasonably good?

Also, where are you located, generally.

I have a NIB emissions tank I might be wiling to part with but I am located in south Texas.

T.J.

I remember a post from several years ago about Gas Tank Renu in Waller, Texas. I have looked at their website, but it does not describe what they do to the tank, other than coating it inside and outside. Do they cut the tank open for this process then re-weld it? Can you provide any details on their method of cleaning and rust-proofing? (And general cost for this service). It might also help Bobcat if there is a Gas Tank Renu near him.

I had an A2 tank go thru the RENU process a couple of years ago. There was a place in Louisville, KY. It was ~ 350, with a lifetime guarantee.

If his tank is to far gone or the sealing isn't an option, I have one in the Detroit area that's available.

Any tank will do. Unless you want to keep it all original. Don't forget a new fuel sock.
