Anyone ever buy and use their gas tanks? Thoughts? Quality? Thanks for your help!
I've got two and a friend one (all 69 Polara). The first one I got had cold soldier joints on the vent lines, didn't catch it on install, found it thinking I had a loose hose.

I had this one repaired.
Got another one later for my 500 and I get them again.

If taking about these guys. I bought a tank, dinner, grommet and a number of other things from them. They all fit fine. I need to pull the sender and adjust it so that it is more accurate. I believe as someone else said if you go through Ebay you can get free shipping.It depends which Vans Auto you are talking about. There are more than a few companies out there that call themselves Vans Auto. If you are talking about the one out of Waupun Wisconsin, I know them personally, good group of guys. I know they ship a lot of tanks but I really don't know the quality. I do know that they list a lot of stuff on ebay, I would look them up on there and read the feedbacks on tanks they've sold. Hope that helps.
Thanks I appreciate all the responses. I think I will get one!
I recently (this month) bought one of them from Vans and even the sending unit was right on. Spectra has made some improvements over time now to fix the sending unit mount leaking problem, making sure the soldered tubes are solid and the sending unit finally correctly calibrated.
