Joseph, I brought home a friends Touring car with the intent of getting it running it has sat 28 years & the tank is just nasty. One problem is he unfortunately is a serious victim of covid-19. I would be fronting any expense for a while. I know good tanks are getting hard to find & I think replacing is the better option for the car, if you would forward pictures to my email so I may look it over. Thank you George

I just took a look at the link posted for the “new aluminum tank” for $750. I wonder if they’ve sold any and I wonder if it fits properly? The welding looks very disappointing, like it was done by someone with very little experience...

$300-$400 is a fair retail price to pay for a nice used original cowl tank that is clean inside, has no pitting, is not coated with anything inside, is leak-tested, and ready to use.

Check with a radiator shop about coating it. If it not rotten, cheap way to go. Dan

George, I have an extra 1927 gas tank. Find photos attached. If you like it, just pay the shipping.
It does have rust inside but looks to be very sound.

Hard to beat that offer, the one I was going to offer has the majority of the original black paint on the outside, but it does have surface and loose rust on the inside needing a good cleaning before it can be used
