This isn't very motorsport related but I thought this section would be most likely to know...

I've got a '94 Landcruiser and the fuel tank needs replacing. The price from Toyota is steep so I'm just investigating what a custom jobbie would be like price-wise.
Can anyone recommend an alluminium or stainless steel fabricator in the NW area that could do this, ideally with experience of making tanks so he knows all about baffles, breathers etc. Anyone got any idea of the rough price of a job like this?

Have you looked at using a tank sealent rather than replacing the tank? There are also places who will repair petrol tanks.

You need to get in touch with 'Tankman' - no prizes for guessing what he does!

Serck Marston radiator dealers will refurb tanks for reasonable money, or use Frost tank sealer.
