I know bobfist was making some, but these appear to be made out of stainless or flash chrome plated.
Although not 100% correct in appearance, it looks very nice. Price isn't bad either including shipping, I've seen used ones for double!

That's pretty nice!  

I wish I knew how to fix the vent issue with these cars.  I get tired of trickling the last gallon of fuel in the tank so it doesn't create a fountain.  I wonder if a bigger vent tube on the filler neck would do it.

Edit:  The filler tube vent line runs into the frame rail correct?  What would happen if you put a t-connector on the sending unit return line and hook up both the fuel return line and the filler tube vent line on the t?

There won't be any fumes going into the garage which is great, but will it create other problems?

Not my auction, I'm not selling these.
Looks like this is a new repro from Van's Auto. I had no idea when they started repro'ing these. Maybe they've been out for a while, sorry then if this is old news to some.
For the price including shipping these appear unbeatable.
Just passing the info along.

No Problem on that Bill I have been looking for over a year. Mine is painted and pitted really bad.  Couldn't find an oem one for under 150.00. Did not want to pay that with seeing it in person...I have contacted a past supplier of this and they did not have any(Fist). I even went to Vans web site just last weekend and did not find this. I had moved on the other things and BAM! There was this link!! It seems that how it happens.

I was looking a month or so ago when the tank was out but now wow.....I just wanted a new one cause the scale and rust inside the tube. Cleaned as much as I could stilll

They are a brand new item to me. Never knew they made them before seeing your thread. Thanks again dude!

just ordered one also.

Wow, very nice looking part. Nice mandrel bend and a great price. I bet they sell a lor of those.

I wonder if they even tried one on a car......Like the repro valve covers, fuel sending units, bad vapor separators...etc.

Hope they fit alright for you guys.

I hope so, too. This obviously must be a new repro.
Look, they're also making stainless gas tanks. Wouldn't mind one of these in my '69.

Keep us updated on how they fit. My original is rusty (surprise) lol

I think the s/s gas tank is great but OMG! shipping to Australia is $984.50.     I'll pass.

Is there really a big demand for the filler tubes?    I would think that the tube isn't something that sees wear & tear. My car was just a shell & I had needed one but I got one on ebay for $25 & there was one on my parts car. If the new one was available I'd have ordered one, but I'll just clean mine up. The tank is nice, not much more compared to a standard one. That leads me to believe it's Chinese for that price, & I've seen Chinese stainless steel rust like regular steel.

Fred, is it possible you can save money having someone you know get one & send it to you?

You should contact the seller to confirm if that amount is correct as often the ebay calculator is way off. I have come across that myself. Also, I have seen some listings that ask out of U.S. buyers to contact them instead of using the calculator.

I think I'm going to pick up one of those stainless gas tanks. Good find Bill.   

[BrianShaughnessy]

Maybe somebody has these out at the Nats...     

I still have Sinnamon's original slightly crusty filler.    I was thinking of getting it blasted and  powdercoated.   This might be cheaper alternative.

At one time I wanted a stainless tank but I already got a new tank for Sinnamon.

Probably not Bob but I'll look into it.

Will do, thanks.

I've found that trying to get most things from e-bay outside of the states rapes you on shipping...  I tried to get an 80$ dash cover and they wanted 150$ to ship it UPS...  Not a chance...  I'd rather spend a month reconditioning my completely ruined one then pay triple for a piece of plastic.  I'm now resorting solely on this forum and contacting the manufactureres outside of e-bay.  <= Beats dealing with those re-selling scumbags...  my

Jeez, you could probably buy it a seat on an international flight for less than that.

Seems like it's a pretty popular topic around here.

Yes, it's just crazy isn't it?

I think there will be a great reception for these. It sucks when you do everything you can to make the trunk area look awesome and then you have a So-so filler tube running right through it all.
