O M G How am I supposed to get all this crap on the trailer and in the truck? Dont tell me there is no room for the beer. Something else is gonna stay. Maybe I'll ditch the change of clothes...or not.

Sitting on the patio at mom's & the cooler, drier weather is finally here. Feels GREAT! Hope it sticks around awhile. We're heading to the track to unload the trailer in the morning.

Hey Tech I'll throw the gas tank from the scrambler I parted out on the trailer and bring it to ashtabula.

Wow, thanks everyone! If it's about 9" x 9" x 21" or close that would be perfect. I'll keep looking around here but, It wouldn't hurt to have a back up.

Larry, that tank was from a Scrambler Got'cha I believe. They had tanks like that, and other models had aluminum ones.

Hey Tech, I might have a tank from a garden tractor if you'd like to borrow it, just say the word.

Oh so the gotcha had both plastic and aluminum ones then?

Sorry to hear about your hand egoperf. Glad your still going!

Techfx, I wonder if that was an aftermarket tank. Every scrambler I have seen had a steel tank. I just got rid of mine or I would have happily brought one with me. Sorry I cant really help. Good look on finding a replacement.

Lawnmower gas tank, perhaps? Racing car fuel cell.....a little pricey, but maybe you can borrow one from a friend. Just a few suggestion. Hope you find something that fits.

Hey Mike,

Excuse my ignorance, but if it's a poly tank you can likely melt it right back together using a hot screwdriver or a soldering iron to weld it right back together. I did this on the JP special on race day last year. Worked like a charm! I can't tell the material from the pic, or how bad the crack is. I also have a couple (5) steel Attex tanks I could lend you if it would work in a clutch situation. I'm not sure the neck is long enough...

If nothing else works, I'll yank mine out of the RIM for you to borrow... Let me know!

I think it is HDPE but, there are a bunch of other small cracks. I'm not sure if I want to continue to trust it. That may be a last resort to weld it though.

0615001612.jpg After pulling the cover off the RIM, found the old fuel tank must have cracked while sitting. Any suggestions on a replacement in 3 days? This was originally from a Scrambler.
