    Turns out my rust bucket had a bit more rust than i expected and the fuel tank has had an internal fuel tube rusted through. I just wanted to know if there was anyone with a fuel tank i could buy off of, or if anyone could point me to where i could get one.
    Thanks in advance!

    No problem , happy to help.
    I wasn't to sure on the second listing as there is some rust and damage as the picture show's.
    I noticed that you don't exactly live around the corner from the seller either to check the tank out , but the seller has positive feedback.

    If your existing tank is OK apart from the internal tube, it could probably be repaired. If the tube is fixed only to the outer surfaces of the tank (e.g. if it is a drain tube for the filler well), it may even be able to be cut out and a new one inserted without having to get inside the tank. Even if the tube is fixed inside the tank, it would likely be possible to cut a hole in the bottom of the tank to get to it. If you yourself or someone you know is handy at TIG or gas welding/brazing, the repair would probably be fairly cheap.

    Regards,
    James
