Thread: Fuel Tank Replacement

Tweet

Has anyone dealt with a company called "TANKSinc." ? My fuel tank on my "46" just got two pinholes and when I pulled the tank it was loaded with rust. I'm sure the metal is paper thin in spots so I'm just going to replace it. They don't make a replacement for my vehicle so I'm looking at a universal tank. I just want to know if anyones bought from them and how the quality of their items are.

Never heard of them, but that's not saying they aren't legit..... IMO a car like the Bentley is deserving of a custom fabricated tank matching the original dimensions as close as possible...... Have you checked Hemmings for a replacement tank?????

TANKS sells to several restoration companys for American cars but I doubt they'll have anything for a '46 Bentley. However, check w/ them, they just might. also check with carquest or Napa, you'd be surprised at what they can get.

Geez take it a radiator place that is part of the gas tank ReNu franchise that renews tanks with lifetime guarantees http://www.gastankrenu.com/ and ask them if it is repairable or not. They certainly wouldn't say yes if they figured it was gonna crap out in a couple years due to being too thin.

Thanks for the suggestions for fuel tank replacement. I did take the tank to a Re-NU franchise and got a quote and decided to look around some more. I found a place called Alumiworx who will build a custom Aluminum tank for me for a very reasonalble price. I will post pictures when I receive it on the site.

The best place i have found for an alum tank is Alumiworx. They will make a tank to your spects and at a price I have not seen elsewhere. I will be ordering one in the next few months. http://www.alumiworx.com/cart/index....iewDoc&docId=2

Thanks for the input John, I had ordered a tank from them last week after searching the net and talking to the owner. I ordered a tank from Alumiworx and will post pics of my old and new tank when it arrives. Thanks for the input.
