I'm looking for a gas tank for my '56 Country Sedan. I checked with Tank Inc and they don't have the template to make one. Other sources I might check? Anyone had good luck with any of the tank sealers? I have my old tank but it leaks around the drain plug. It's not the seal on the plug so there must be pin holes that I can't see.

New tanks for the old wagons (52-56) started coming available around 2010.
I bought a new tank for my '55 Courier wagon (same as your Country sedan) direct from Spectre years ago. Its 100% duplicate of the original tank and excellent quality.
Some of the Repro parts suppliers were offering wagon gas tanks later on but it appears those were manufactured by Spectre.
