Morning all- I got into a bit of a discussion on needed Torino parts, and the theme for Wagon owners seems to be the need for a replacement fuel tank. I was talking to a company that builds tanks, and the guys were asking what sort of demand is there, and is there a tank available to look at. The issue here is, frankly I won't lie, it's not a cheap preposition to undertake due to low volume and basically fabricating a custom one-off piece. The balance comes in, much like we've been doing recently for other items, in getting a group buy together to produce a part for our cars. I posted up on Facebook, but I want to have something here so we can it where discuss things and not have the discussion get lost in a matter of days. -------------  Andrew:GTS.ORG admin, '72 Q code 5 speed RestomodPondering: #99Problems |

I might be interested in one, but my budget is very tight. My car’s been running off a jerry can in the engine bay because there’s rust in my tank from sitting so long, but I was going to go the cheap route and dump some sealer/fluid into the tank. What I kind of want to do though (once I have the money...) is have Fuel Safe make me a fuel cell. The tank location really isn’t ideal in a driver’s side hit. ------------- Griffin 1973 Gran Torino station wagon 1971 Maverick 2 Door Retired 60s NHRA Anglia |

Hmm. I have a '76 wagon tank I was going to install into one of my '72 wagons. Wonder what the difference is? ------------- Joe 1972 Mom's Squire Wagon 1972 Torino Wagon 1976 Torino 1968 Cougar XR7-First batch 1972 Torino 460 1989 BroncoII/Jeeps/Titanimous Popeye and Brutus (Rams) |

I would grab the tank. A radiator shop can boil the tank for cheap. That way if a guy is looking for a usable tank, he can have the tank coated inside and out by a radiator shop and be good to go. ------------- Andrew:GTS.ORG admin, '72 Q code 5 speed RestomodPondering: #99Problems |
