spectra premium o.e.m supplier and aftermarket available at most parts stores . my local pick-n-pull junk yard cant be touched when it comes to tanks/senders/radiators new from them . so check your local places first .
make sure you look first . it might be the short rubber hose from frame lines to sender on top of tank .

The Spectra tanks seem to be pretty good and not too costly--there was a company (MTS ?) making plastic tanks too,that cost about 60 or so bucks more than a steel one...I'd be tempted to go with plastic seeing things rust and rot here so fast..but a steel tank will probably last 10-15 years too,if its galvanized well..
my replacement was Spectra...I was impressed with the quality.
They make good stuff. My dad and I have used them for years in the Radiator business.

I think I will take a look at the plastic tanks anybody have any first hand experience with them?
I've got a spectra new in the box for my blazer. Looks fine.
But if you paint it it will void the warranty.

Wtf is up with that?
I called and asked and apparently the tank has a coating on the outside, forget what it's called off hand.

That's kinda odd I would have a hard time not painting it
I called them and asked what they recommended for paint and that's when they said it voids the warranty and wouldn't reccomend any paint.
I purchased the MTS Plastic Tank. T
he fuel neck from tank didn't clear the frame, it was suggested I heat the neck just a little to bend it up just enough to clear the frame. I wasted the shipping of $190 and sold it on Craig's list.
