FUEL TANKS - One of the most frequent causes for breakdowns is contamination from rust and dirt in the old, original fuel tanks still found in many motor cars. The tanks were fabricated of steel and over the years have rusted due to water condensation and accumulated dirt and "varnish" from being stored with old fuel or no cap. Once a tank has rusted, it is difficult or impossible to remove all the rust. Some have tried to using a "poured in" coating to cover the tank interior, but this method has it's own problems caused by the coating flaking off and clogging the fuel system. Many have tried to solve the problem by installing in-line automotive type fuel filters between the tank and the pump. If the tank is contaminated, it will quickly clog these filters. Even with no contamination, the filter make it much more difficult for the pump to suck fuel from the tank, particularly at high altitudes. The Onan pump was not designed to draw fuel through a filter.

What's the solution? A new stainless steel tank that can't rust. Finding a way to fabricate fuel tanks has been difficult. If the tank is soldered, as the originally were, makes it difficult to powder coat the tank due to the heat needed in this process. We have finally found a way to weld and powder coat stainless steel in the same size and shape as the original 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 gallon sizes as well as adding a 6 gallon tank that is longer than the original 4 1/2 gallon, but fits in the same brackets. If you have room for a 4" longer tank, the 6 gallon will increase your range. All tanks are pressure tested prior to shipping.

10 GALLON FUEL TANK - Available again - Now in Stainless Steel.

FUEL TANK SEDIMENT BOWLS - We now have the original (large size bowl on the left) as well as the small after market bowl (on right). The spare glass, screen and gasket are available for the large bowl only. Always carry these spare parts with you. or, carry a spare bowl assembly. Throw away that in line fuel filter because it is designed to be placed after the fuel pump and replace it with the proper bowl as the car was designed and you will avoid many problems.
