So,
What are the options for oil tanks? New, used? Who sells the new ones, and how much? Rich |

I don't know if Don Welch is still making tanks or not, but that's probably the best way to go on a non concours car. Not to say his tanks aren't nice, they are. I want to say he had a filler neck and filter console that went with it too. I think the total was $950 for the tank/filler neck/filter console package. You can still use the factory filter console boot and nylon tank spacers.
Velios used to make a cast aluminum tank, it's heavy and I had about a 25% leak ratio on the ones I sold. I don't think Velios is even in business anymore, even if he was I personally wouldn't buy anything from him. The last factory tank I got was over a grand, and then you've got to get all the ancillaries. I'd say budget about $1100-$1200 to go that way. The factory boot with clip and the nylon spacers will run around $60 IIRC. |
