The fuel tank often is not the first part of the vehicle considered when maintaining your off-road vehicle, but its positioning under the trunk area of the vehicle makes it vulnerable to dents and scrapes that can weaken its surface. Even if your vehicle is only used for street driving, wear and tear damage of the gas tank is inevitable over time. The potholes, speed bumps and construction zones can be as hard on your vehicle as off-road driving, scraping and denting your fuel tank as well. Worst of all is the winter slush, full of corrosive road salt, splashed up into the undercarriage of your vehicle with every turn of the wheels, slowly eating away at the rust resistant coating of your fuel tank. Eventually, it will weaken the surface enough to allow corrosion to begin, which as it progresses, can cause a fuel leak. When the elements have done their worst to your gas tank, and the time has come for a replacement, we offer a quality assortment of fuel tanks replacements in our user-friendly online catalog.

If your tank is not rusted off I'd empty the tank and blast it clean. Then do a coating using epoxy type and you should be good and no more worry about rusty tank.

Have you tried looking online for it? I think there are so many online stores out there. You just have to research and ask people, sites which are highly recommended always have the best services.

OK, here's formally called Victoria British Catalog. http://www.blackdragonauto.com/ I haven't seen a recent catalog but, they had a lot of 1st gen parts. Might want to try them.

You do realize that you are quoting & responding to a post made in Aug. of 2009! I would hope he would have found a tank by now.

LMAO. I thought I'd have a clean getaway... yep, I noticed that after I posted.

I could've deleted but figured some can use the info for the catalog! Heh
