Any luck with TRQ fuel tank from Amazon ?

[GERMYS_72]

Does anyone have experience with the TRQ fuel tank at Amazon ? Looks like a good deal, I'm thinking about snaggin one since I already have straps and filler neck.

No experience with that brand Those appear to be the same low price painted tanks that are sold under dozens of brands. I've installed several Spectra Premium tanks and the quality is excellent, and they come (or did at the time) galvanized like the factory tank.

Thanks, I will go for the galvanized tank. Stanglover mentioned Rockauto in another post. I have the filler and straps, so I need to assemble all the other missing parts, gaskets, sending unit, vapour unit, etc and buy them seperately.

I bought a gray powdercoated tank off eBay that looks like the one shown above. Looked good, seems to be of good quality, and fits perfectly. No issues. Free shipping, too!

It's the INSIDE that matters!! That's why the Spectra Premium is arguably the best because the inside (and outside) is Terne Coated, which is a tin/zinc alloy. This is essential now we're forced (in most places) to use Ethanol gas.
Don't cheap out would be my advice.

Are there gas tanks for our cars with interior baffles to control fuel movement during cornering?

Rock Auto was way cheaper. Also the problem I had with the Spectra FG87A sending unit, it was incorrect for left hand application, the outlet tube was facing the wrong way. It was returned to RA and I ordered the Dorman 692232, which was correct and a good unit. It did need calibrating for a 1/4 tank. I've posted on that previously.

I'm getting the Dorman based on your suggestion on that other post

RockAuto plus shipping is now more than Amazon Prime. The Amazon prime is $173 shipped, very good deal

I can only get Amazon.ca, (Canadian), and it was $400 Cdn PLUS shipping @ 65 bucks. A huge difference!! And they're made in Canada. Buy where you get the best deal.
In 2017, when I bought my tank off R/A, it was $175 Cdn plus 50 bucks shipping for the entire order. I guess things have changed, like everything else in these days of greed.
