Gas Tank Options

Later year 110s have plastic fuel tanks. I bet I can make one fit just fine.

As Jeff would say, "I'll take that bet". I just changed the tank in my 110 a few months ago, and can safely say, there is no crossmember there.

Maybe move the crossmember? then you could put any # of different tanks back there...

But if you remove it what's to keep the frame rails from rotating inwards from the force of the leaf spring mounts? I assume the rear cross member would be rusted to bits, aren't they all????

Wait...so you mean plastic tanks are NOT illegal to use in a road vehicle??

Good...that makes me feel better.

I've had this crazy problem with intermittant mis-firing that has got me at my wits end...renewed the fuel filter...it ran better for a while...but now is back to running like...well...cow pie.

So am thinking it might be rust in the tank...as rust shows up in the glass sediment bowl. Maybe that has been causing this ongoing problem the whole time.

Getting sick of rusting rover tanks...just replaced this one not that long ago...well 21 years ago (time sorta gets away from me), and here it is rusting again?? What gives? All that Potassium Chloride that they use on the roads in Ak in the winter, I guess...or maybe it's just plain NaCl, but it's nasty.

So am thinking of getting one of those red plastic twelve gallon outboard skiff tanks and seeing if it will fit where the rover tank lives.

Was thinking of painting that red plastic tank black, so that it will not look so obviously like an outboard skiff tank.

But I've had it with steel rover tanks....they should last longer than 21 years, I'd think.
