so I dropped the gas tank and it is all sorts of rust scales and nasty. What should I do? I am thinking these two things: 1) I can get it dipped and sealed at the radiator shop for 100$ 2) or search the junk yard for a better tank Will I have any luck at the junk yard? Or should i just get it dipped and coated?
I would have it dipped & sealed...when/if you find another tank it most likely will have the same problems.
I vote dipped and sealed. More than likely if it has been sitting at a yard it doesn't have much gas in it if any which means it is going to have the same problem.
You can do it yourself for cheaper! I took my tank to the radiator shop and they stated that there were no guarantees, even after looking at my tank which isn't bad AND they still wanted $100 either way. So, I'm doing it myself. Check out my post on Ratsun: Fuel Tank Restoration The link offers information on DIY kits I found and a couple links on how to DIY the right way! I have a Datsun 620 that I'm working on along side my rn34! I'm going to do my datsun and toyota tank at the same time. I hope that helps your decision.
