I just bought new Spectra's - made in Canada. $100+ each at Autozone. I got them there because there was no shipping fee to their store.

Not much of a choice on the market but the spectre tank is ok. You could always use a 8-10 gallon plastic outboard fuel tank mounted inside the bed.

I ended up buying a Liland Global tank, $78 from Rockauto shipped to my house, can't see any difference from the originals I took out.

did tank come with that filler? if so, great deal. otherwise I got a spectra tank for 42 dollars as returned but not used. Box had hit the ground and bent the lip of the tankon the side of the tank facing the frame, just had to bend it back to ghet straps proper. Otherwise, great tank. No fuel filler hoses tho, separate/.

Those hoses and filler neck are the original ones from the factory. I just cleaned them up.
