I am preparing to remove my bed and cab to do some rust repair and I'm getting inspired to get rid of the in cab fuel tank while I'm at it. What is the easiest/cheapest route to go? I know lots of tanks can be made to fit in between the frame rails on the rear. With that said; I have access to thousands of cars at a local Upay and Pull yard. The thing is they punch a nickel size hole in the tanks to drain them. Is there any way to fix these?--They still seem to sell a lot of tanks with the hole so there must be a way to repair them? Thanks.....

Radiator shops can clean and weld the gas tank or clean it so you can weld it

Agreed!thumbs_up The radiator shop will steam clean the tank... that's really the only proven method to clean a tank that had petrochemicals in it.

They will likely also be able to weld up that nickle sized hole for you too!

Inspired to be different. Different in a way of my own, not in a way that others strive.
