some time back i posted on here about a gas tank for my speedster project. i really want to use a "t" oval tank sitting up on edge, i like the look. i don't want to use a beer keg or other types of tank. someone suggested rootlieb, their website showed just what i want and their price seemed reasonable. i am ready to order and when i called today i was told they arent selling gastanks and don't know if or when they will have them again.(their builder isn't building anymore) i know another company has the tanks, but they are very expensive. i am considering fabricating a tank out of #20 steel. i can borrow one from a friend to use as a pattern. if some one can suggest another reasonable supplier or a source for the filler neck, outlet fittings etc. i'm open for ideas. i see "t" tanks on ebay but am leery of 100 year old gas tanks.
