Market Watch — Fuel Tanks

1/10/2018

0 Comments

 
I'm always on the watch for useable fuel tanks for my 2d-gen projects. "Useable" might mean an original condition example or one that could be used in a restoration. Prices and condition run the gamut. Here's a few sales from recent eBay auctions.
NOTE: If someone is in need of a '90-93 fuel tank I have two available in factory red and factory black.
Picture
First up is a R/W/B from a regular parts seller in Minnesota. This appears to be a very nice original tank with no visible dents and no interior rust. No hardware is included. A great bolt-on replacement for your dented or rusted-out tank. Sold for $301, shipped.

Picture
This is a very similar-condition tank from another parts breaker in Oregon. No dents, and the seller states that the interior is like new. No hardware included. Sold for $400, shipped.

Here we have what appears to be an original tank in Pearl Crescent White, but in need of some serious refurbishment efforts. The exterior is passable, but the interior looks pretty bad from the photos and, in fact, there's a pinhole leak in the tank's bottom.

Our seller is also a long-time parts guy from Montana who listed this item for a lofty $499 but wisely accepted a $200 offer with shipping.

Our Minnesota seller was also successful with this original-colored 1987 tank in blue/silver. Judging by the photos, the paint condition looks like it might work for a rider, and I suspect that some color sanding and buffing would work wonders.

This one includes the petcock and fuel level sender. The bargain of the bunch, it sold for $133, shipped.

Finally, from a breaker in Michigan comes this example in need of refurbishing inside and out. There looks to be a lot of rust to deal with here and the exterior has been painted and decal-ed sometime in the distant past. The fuel sender is included. Sold for $75, shipped.
