Sorry guys, but I scored again!
I know that many of you have problems with your gas tanks rusting and what not, I know I have had some issues.....
I never expected to be able to find one over here, but Look what I found! the very last NOS still in the box unit here in Japan
NO RUST AT ALL
eat your hearts out.
hugs and kisses

42,000 yen...at todays exchange rate 115yen = 1$ its about 365.00 USD.
where can I order some of the preserviative for the inside? .... the outside is a cinch, their are several types of commercial asphalt based coatings that I think will work well, but I would really like to coat the inside too, especially since I will be cutting and gutting this new tank to make it work with my fuel pump pickup combo.

if you go to your local radiator shop they should be able to coat the inside of the tank..i had a tank off my 56 oldsmobile that i took to them and they boiled the tank out and coated it..or you can ask them to sell you a bottle of the stuff and you can do it yourself..
That's funny. You paid 200 for your last 7 and now you're tickled that you found a tank for nearly twice the price of the last car. 
I would say that's about right for any dedicated enthusiast.

I think that maybe its becasue the fuel rollover vent, and the emissions vents are different. IRRC that was one of the things you had to change inorder to ship a JDM sa/fb back to the states (mind you that is form like 20 some odd years ago though)
I will check out some of the links you guys sent me. gotta do this one up right.

Kenn,
Look into the Red-kote product for the inside of your tank. I heard alot of great things about it from car and motorcycle shops that swear by the product before I bought and used it on my refurb project. I'm pre-mixing and not a bit of problem. Like a permanent skin on the inside of my tank.

Good luck and great find.
