i need a petrol tank because the panel beater pulled it out and saw a little bit of surface rust and decided that it was no good
so he chucked it out, now i am on a mission to find a petrol tank and i was wondering a couple of things:

Thanks Harv,

Good input to the discussion. Since it's a ute, the 2-seater issue isn't a problem for me, and the mounts for the shoulder straps could go into the rear wall of the cab -- reinforced somehow -- or into the parcel shelf. I agree, a discussion would be required with the certifier, and ...

Shannons are part of the Suncorp brand.

NRMA and RACV are not the same. Since NRMA was privatised (thanks Dawn Fraser) thier poicies are geared towards the shareholder's not the members.

RACQ are 50/50 (i think) club and GIO. My car and house are/were with them, but since the floods up here in Jan ...
