i need a tank for my 81 wagon , send me in the right direction..thax

Pull yours and have it sealed or get a junkyard one. Post a WTB post in the Subaru Marketplace.

Yeah - or find a Junk yard that doesn't punch holes in them. Don't know where your from, but some yards do, and others don't. A new tank is over $300. Get yours welded, or get a used one.

My Brat "Brat Patrol" has internal rust flakes that plug up the pick up tube.

A Harley rider friend speaks of a gas tank sealer they use on old shovels tanks and such

First an acid "etching" solution is added, then the sealer is put in - sloshed about, the excess poured out and then let it dry.

 

Has anyone ever heard of this treatment?

A quick Goggle search turned up one of my favorite companies

POR 15

Think I may try this

This is feasible for our applications (all boneyard tanks in my area look toast and 300 GW's is not in the cards

Maybe I should post a new thread?

http://www.rustrepair.com/app2/onlinecat.htm?p=sm-subaru They list 2 tanks there. P/N 360-85-110 w/o FI $138.98, and P/N 360-85-111 W/ FI $149.47 plus S&H charges. Site says they are for 80-94 Sedan/wagon..............

Yes - but if you look at the year column for both those parts, it says "85-87" and "85-89". I'm betting both of those are EA82 tanks. Won't work for his application.
