Replacement gas tank w/correct neck pictures next to original tank

I thought I would post these in a new thread, hopefully they'll be easier to find and see.

Not bad so far, I'm replacing bed steel in my Blazer so I haven't installed it yet. However I did position it in place when I got it and everything lines up like it should.

Tank was $165 and the sending unit was $25. I think they have a kit with the tank, sending unit and straps. I'm re-using my original mounts and straps, so just went with the tank and sending unit.

Re: Replacement gas tank w/correct neck pictures next to original tank

Just to be clear, you bought a tank and it came with the correct neck?

WHERE Did you buy it?

This looks very promising. Is the new tank painted or zinc coated? I thought I saw a post where someone said it was painted. I’m interested in getting a new tank but am not sure which direction I want to go. Plastic, custom aluminum or this one.
