Dropped the 84 tank today

[CincinnatiFiero]

This tank only has 10,210 miles on it, ONLY.











Gross haha.

This is exactly why old cars with little to no miles on them aren't worth the obnixious prices some people want for them.

Can that be cleaned/repaired or is it dunzo?

[CincinnatiFiero]

The local tank shop wanted $300 to do an F350 non baffled diesel tank, to sand blast it and anti-rust coat it. The fiero has a much smaller sender opening and a bunch of plastic baffles, the would think the only way to save it is to open the tank at the seam, blast it, and re-weld it.

I have a line on going and pulling a tank for free this week or next after class, so we'll see.

jelly, I'll take $15,000 for the car.

Sucks you don't live in the NC. I know where there's a good, free, tank hanging out.

[CincinnatiFiero]

Its an excuse for you to come up here...

Is it an older 9.9 gallon?

[lucky]

POR15 has a tank cleaning/sealing system. You pour in a rust solvent, move it around inside by moving the tank, then rinse, dry, then pour in a liquid ceramic to seal the inside of the tank. My father used it on his motorcycle, still raves about it...

$73 + shipping

With all the baffles in the fiero tank, that could be hard. I am going to pull a free tank out of an 85 tomorrow. Most guys sell decent tanks for around $100 that I've seen. So the POR thing may not be the best for a fiero. But thanks for the idea, I'll keep it in mind, my BMW may have a rusty tank and $73 is cheaper than $400+.

[lucky]

Ya. Same thing my dad said when he saw the price on the kit; then he researched a n.o.s. tank for his 84 KZ1100LTD and thought $73 was a bargain.

[CincinnatiFiero]

Favorited it in my BMW links folder, hopefully the tank tomorrow will be good.

[Emc209i]

No its an 87 expanded capacity tank. It's just chillin in my buds driveway.

[lucky]

If neither of you wants it, I'll take the late tank off his hands. PM me to work $omething out.

You mean the 87 right?

I doubt you want mine, but people ask for weird shit.

[Emc209i]

It's in North Carolina... you do understand that?

If you're serious, and I mean serious as in willing to pay good money to have it shipped a hassle free method, we'll exchange pm's.

[lucky]

Serious about wanting a good late tank? Yes. Not in a massive rush for one, however. If you can, next time you're at your buddy's, get measurements and a guestimate on weight for a shipping estimate to 02861.

[CincinnatiFiero]

Pulled an 85GT tank, shes good, but I still need a 4 cylinder dual plug sending unit. I know my 87 Tech4 had the wrong sending unit for the 84, so I need an earlier one. Paul, start looking haha.

[Jinxmutt]

I'm pretty sure the 84 had a year specific plug. Just swap the pump/wiring to the later year.

[CincinnatiFiero]

Yeah that was my new plan, use a different sending unit and re-wire it to 84 connectors. I don't want to switch the body harness to later because in theory this car will be a perfect resto some day.
