    Big Red gas tank

    Just scored this. Hope it looks as good and is as clean on the inside as the seller said.

    This one I bought last year in similar condition after I sent it out.

    After you've powered contact Harlan and order a set of his decals..you're mint!!

    Nice Dougspcs. I might just keep as a spare or trade it off. Won it on eBay last night for a steal.

    A spare or future project tank isn't a bad plan..they are only getting more valuable!!

    You know if you needed it you would have paid 3 times what you did...

    Seller had it listed under ATV 3wheeler gas tank. I stumbled across it. It was dumb luck.

    I still say send it for media blasting and powder, spray the inside with some kind of oil spray..

    Then hang it up an look at it knowing it will never get any "older" than it is right now and will only increase in value as time passes!!

    I found an sx tank about the same way.
    Had not choice but to get it.
    I heard marine fogging oil sounded good but I blew it dry dry dry, rinsed it with that super evaporative 'heet'.
    Sure hope marine fogging oil is the right stuff.
    I just love the decals too.
    Congrats on a great find. You simply can't go wrong.
