My fuel tank on my '93 Ramccharger has rusted out. My dealer has absolutely not been able to replace it with a new or used one. What sort of shop could make a new fuel tank? The truck is in excellent condition with less than 50,000 easty miles on it? ---

You should be able to find one somewhere if you do some calling around to junkyards, although often a junkyard fuel tank might not be much better than the one it’s replacing. Your best bet for getting a new one fabricated would be a 4x4 or offroad shop that does welding and fabrication. They will have sources for getting you a new one that fits, or else they can probably build you one that will work. If you’re in a safety inspections state, a custom fuel tank may cause problems, though. ---

I don’t believe it. I can’t believe there isn’t a gas tank available for that truck. Keep checking, you should be able to find one. ---

Thanks for the informative reply. I printed it out for my dealership mechanic. He said that was a first from a woman. ---

Thanks for the reply. My dealer had already called LKQ Star. A gas tank was available in South Dakota but according to the source, gas tanks can’t be shipped. ---
