Lots of pickup tanks listed but can't seem to find one for a suburban (I imagine the panel would also be the same ) Any leads would really be appreciated.

Jim Carter has had the repop panel/burbs/canopy express gas tanks for at least two years now. I bought one of them. See this pic.... My rusted out old one...a NEW one and an old one I was going to try salvage. I must admit, the repop is a nice one. Heavy and exactly like the old ones. Maybe a phone call would confirm whether or not there is one for the TF panels. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r19/LutherParris/52Panel/Fueltanks002.jpg | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | Should try to fix. Not available as Red58 said. Hard to find in useable condition. They can be fixed by someone way far away from your house. There are safe ways to weld on them. See the web.

| | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 8 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 8 | I have 2 gas tanks for the 55 suburban. One was hit pretty hard in the front and has been patched. The other one does not leak, but has a couple of dents on the bottom where it bottomed out on something. Does anyone have an idea what these would be worth? Is this the correct place to ask that? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 14 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 14 | Broke down and bought a stainless tank that mounts at the rear of the frame. A bit pricey but one less thing to worry about. | | |
