G'day Rollin Low,

Marty Dean was making beautiful stainless steel tanks. They were a nice product - came with all the hardware, even fuel sender 8) . Unfonrtunately, Marty has changed phone number, and appears to have dropped off the radar :( . His old details are below - if anyone can relocate him, please post up his details (there are a lot of guys both here and on the FE/FC forum keen to buy his tanks):

Yeah I spoke to Marty last week he is still making them but hasn't got time until early next year to make me one. I was hoping to get one a little earlier then that!

Yes it is a sedan one , have a look at the one in your wagon , it has a long straight filler tube heading to the side of the car , the sedans have a short curved filler tube exiting the rear of the car. sedan tanks are rectangular and wagon ones are nearly square.

I got hold of Martin on that mobile number, he is still making them, but on the side now. For my EK wagon it will be $825 including sender, all ready to install, but not until after Easter. Sounds good!
