Title: Have you used a stainless steel fuel tank on your 2nd gen. Charger?
Post by: b5blue on May 29, 2021, 07:11:25 AM
I'm considering replacing my tank and looking for any who have used stainless? Modern fuel being strange brew I'm thinking stainless is best.  :scratchchin:

Yep, stainless on everything.  Glad I did because I had read on here how many folks have leaks around the float gasket.  The stainless tuff comes with a stainless gasket retainer.  Much more beefy and I've never had a drop of leakage.  Maybe you could buy the retainer seperate. :shruggy:

I'd have to dig out my receipts.  Don't remember.

Found it!  Classic Industries part # ft6009c.  On 3/28/2018 it cost 259.99.  At the same time I bought the fuel return and supply lines at 58.74 Ea.

Shipping was $124  because of the "oversize".

Yup! Agree, I hardly ever use eBay anymore but after calling VAN's directly they said for free shipping you MUST use eBay.  :shruggy: The big block 4QT oil pan is very nice for 50.00 shipped also.  :2thumbs:

I bought one recently from Vans as well.  No leaks so far.  Now if I could just get my fuel sender to read accurately............. :brickwall:
