SPI has reasonably priced fuel tanks, but they dont sell to the public...only to retailers and shops. they DO sell to autozone though, try napa, autozone, pepboys, etc.

Hey D-Man, could you do me a favor? Could you please ask them if they would be able to ship a gas tank to Toronto? I really appreciate all this man.

first is ur tank leaking via rust or does it have a hole in it from scraping or getting poked?.....either or there are a few products out there you can use to fix it and if you prep your tank real good and fallow instructions u will be fine....iv tryed fiber glass repairs to my tank and it worked well...this was on a 95 200sx...top of the tank was rusted and gas was seaping threw.... fiber glass cloth and resin fixed that....then i poked a hole in it one day while driving on a dirt road and i bought a "puddy" product that you just need together in ur hand...works like epoxy and then stuck that in the whole after preping the surface and i smoothed it out around the ridge and it worked ....worked well for a year then my tank rusted out around the fille neck so i just bought a new one for 300 bucks..but yea depending on your damage try those

Jeunesse, it may be tommorow, IDK. I've got to get out of work first. It's for a 202 frame right?

No offense bro, But that's a BAD idea. Unless you're using a vinyl ester resin... Epoxy resin (the only kind sold anywhere except for a speciality store) Will dissolve in gasoline.

well i assume thats what it was cause it was a gas tank repair kit came with a woven fiber mat you cut to fit then you mixed the resin and put it over top.......i latter bought a fiber glass repair kit for like a small boat and put more on top of the first coat....never had any problems with it....like i said tank held up with both repairs for about a year untill the inlet for the filler neck was too rusted and i sprung for a new oem one.....be nice to know what kinda damage he has on his tank.....a quick visit to canadian tire may help him out

I have seen it already and the problem is due to rust on the seams. Where'd you get the OEM gas tank for 300? I dont have any problem on the filler neck just on the tank edges.

Actually EPOXY RESIN IS what you want to use if you are going to fiberglass your gas tank. The quick gas tank repair kits use this type of resin.

EPOXY RESIN_INSTANT GAS TANK REPAIR
Read the ingredient here for EPOXY RESIN

The name of the the other type is polyester resin. This is the more "common" less expensive variety of fiberglass resin.
