Hi!  Recently there was a thread on problems with gas tanks and finding a
replacement... Unfortunately I deleted all the messages. Not very smart,
considering I have increasing problems with my Bricklin gas tank. The last
three times I took my Bricklin out, I ended up on the side of the road,
waiting for the tow truck! Rust colored fuel with "flaky bits" comes up the
fuel line and clogs the pre-carb filter installed. The fuel pump also failed -
the new one lasted less than 100 miles. Bad luck/faulty new pump, or is the
pump getting clogged up with rust too? Can you take the fuel pump apart to
clean it?

I realise I can clean/repair the existing tank, but I would prefer buying a
brand new one or a good used one,  if I can find either one at a reasonable
price.  Any of you has AMC or aftermarket vendor part numbers for the tank? Is
it something you can get from NAPA? The tank was for a Gremlin, right?
