IF IT'S A REGULAR OLD BEHIND THE SEAT TANK, I'LL BET THAT YOU CAN FIND ONE FROM A MEMBER THATS FAIRLY LOCAL FOR FREE OR NEXT TO FREE. I'VE TAKEN DOZENS TO THE CRUSHER OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE I COULDN'T GIVE THEM AWAY. WITH ALOT OF PEOPLE GOING WITH BEHIND THE AXEL TANKS, THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF GOOD USED ONES AROUND. ANOTHER GOOD SOURCE IS BONE YARDS. THE EPA MAKES MOST (IF NOT ALL) JUNKYARDS DRAIN & REMOVE THEM BEFORE PUTTING THEM IN THE YARDS TO PART OUT. ALOT OF BONEYARDS JUST PUNCH HOLES IN THE UNDERSIDE TANKS NOWADAYS TO DRAIN THEM, BUT THEY USUALLY DON'T PUNCTURE THE BEHIND THE SEAT TANKS. SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TIME TO THINK ABOUT INSTALLING A UNDERBED TANK. A SIMPLE & VERY WORTHWHILE UPGRADE. JOHN
