b422 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Where can I find a set of fuel tanks? Should I stay with the square ones or go round? Im not sure if ill stay with that gasser or do diesel yet. But I would like to see is the gasser will fire up.

h67st Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 A lot of guys will run a hose into a 5 gallon can and strap it behind the cab just to get the engine running and test it.

yarnall Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I strap a cub cadet gas tank to the mirror and run a hose to the carb. The gallon only lays a few minutes with a 707. You have more time with the 460 or whatever it is in the B422. As far as long term goes it depends what you want. There are lots of square steel tanks out there or you can clean and coat your. Appropriate Round aluminum tanks are harder to come by and more expensive. You can use newer tanks if you don't care about originality. Mike.

beatngu Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I put a round fuel tank off a refrigerated trailer on my truck. Mounted it on the frame behind where the original square one was so I will either use the old tank just for a step or craft it into a toolbox. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54198-b-model-fuel-tanks/#findComment-405517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Depending on what you want, new, used, used up? I got tired of dealing with my old tanks and spent the money on a new set of alum tanks from Alumitank. About 700/ea. Nice, really nice. Exact replica of the 40 gal tank. 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
