Reproduction Stainless Steel Firebird Fuel Tank
I see there is a Chinese made stainless steel gas tank available now for '70-73 Firebirds. Has anyone had any experience with installing one? I'm curious how the quality and fit compares with the Canadian made galvanized steel tanks that have been sold for many years. I'm already having corrosion issues with my repop steel tank due to E10 gasoline and thinking about switching to the stainless if the quality is decent.

Den, what signs are you having of corrosion? I assume that it is internal as I see no reason that the E10 would effect the exterior.

Fuel tank was leaking around the sender and when I pulled it there was white powder and rust around the sender opening and inside the tank. The resistor can and tubing on sender is covered in rust now too. Everything was in good condition 3 years ago.
The original dented 40+ year old fuel tank that I cut up to get the filler tube extension before scrapping it was spotless inside even after thousands of gallons of E10 gasoline. |
