Anybody ever ship a used fuel tank? What shipper do you use, from what I see nobody want to ship a old-fuel smelling tank.

The better idea is to try and get the one you have patched. Alot of places will do it for a lot cheaper than getting a new/used one. I'm getting mine patched, cleaned and a new fuel level sender installed.

They told me mine wasn't rebuildable, so I just bought a new one from Mazda about two months ago: 430$ CAN, so that's roughly 300$ US, well worth it if you plan on keeping the car
