1991 240 gas tank replacement

Post by vcowens »

I need to replace the 24 year old gas tank on my 240. Any thoughts on the quality of the replacement tanks? I have found one for $145 and one for $215 and higher. None of the descriptions give the thickness of the tanks. I really don't want to spend money that I don't need to unless there is a big difference in tank quality. Thanks.

I'd consider patching it....otherwise, spend as little as possible.

I'd try to save those rubber o-rings/etc...replacements may or may not be available.

On hose replacement, rubber must meet standards for gasoline.
