It is impossible to find this tank anywhere. My last resort is here, any ideas?

They are very hard to find if at all. And what you do find is just as bad as what you have. The best solution is to get the current one cleaned and resealed. I had it done for $350 and it came out fantastic.

That is the best route. I think mine was around $600 but everything here is expensive.

I'm sure you can find a good shop near you. Hows the rest of the fuel system?
