No...To much of a liability! Get a good original one.

usually some of the larger shows like Hershey have a couple vendors selling refurbished tanks. Not cheap but usually look very good. Also you can put an ad on the Buy Sell forum. Wayne

Too bad the tanks have those stupid baffle plates. Otherwise, someone might design a POP IN Fuel Bladder.

Brookville makes a 30-31 panel to replace the gas tank. Putting a fuel cell in place of the stock tank with a new dash might make a lot of sense.

Fix what you have or buy another one to fix. I cut the worst of the 3 gas tanks I have open last fall. Probably will fix it as Brent has posted pics of how to in the past. It has several pin holes in it, so it will be a challange. Rod
