A new tank should last you for many years. Here is one (of several offers) on eBay that is made by the Canadian company that makes all the Tbird tanks.

It's always a gamble.Ģ) Bill, I'd love to hammer out this motor mount issue. It might be worth looking around on eBay to see what stuff is going for - at $100, you might make a few more bucks reselling the stuff.
