    Do these just not get made anymore? I'm trying to get a new one because there is rust in my fuel filters, figuring it is the tank that needs replacing. Been looking all last night online and in the forums and seems no one has them.

    You can get the later fuel tanks new. They just need longer straps or bolts to work.

    Take your old tank off, take it to a radiator shop, get it cleaned and sealed....problem fixed.
