Mazda RX-7 '79 - Gas Tank Replacement
My Mazda RX-7 '79 needs a new(er) gas tank, since it's leaking rust and silt into the carb. Mazda isn't making them anymore, and a used one seems to be pretty hard to find. Do you have any suggestions or contacts that could help me out with finding a new one, or at least a solution to the silt problem?
I'd appreciate it.

www.eastwoodcompany.com they have all kinds of restoration stuff. Get the Gas Tank Sealer Kit for Automobiles. It cleans then seals your tank. Of course you have to drain it for this. Also change your fuel filter after you do the sealer. Or get a different tank or whatever.

Make an offer worth. Doesn't weigh much to ship since it basically an big empty aluminum can.

Do not tell UPS that it is a gas tank or they won't ship it.
www.atlantarx7.com
Sam knows how to ship them. He sells a lot of used 1st gen gas tanks.
