Are there any aftermarket fuel tanks that will fit an 86 RX-7? I haven't had any luck googling for any. Mazdatrix has genuine Mazda tanks, but they are VERY expensive...

Thanks

Are you needing a safer tank for racing or something?

I think his is bad (rusted) and he wants a new one but dont want to pony up the $$ for a new oem one so he is looking at aftermarket style boxes that he can buy through summit.

just drop in a fuel cell and call it a day!

You could get a used one. The S4 or S5 ones will fit.

Yes - I am basically too cheap to buy a new OEM tank. I only paid $200 for the car, and I haven't gotten the engine running yet, so I don't know if it is total junk yet. I have had the injectors cleaned, and am in the process of cleaning the rest of the fuel system, and when I pulled the fuel pump, I found a bunch of rust and dirt in the tank. I thought if I could get an aftermarket tank for $100 or so, it would be easier than trying to clean and coat the old one... I guess I'll go ahead and pull the old tank, clean it as best I can and see what it looks like...

Thanks for the advice.

They are compatible. The S5 is bigger and you need to switch the braces. There might be something else you need to switch, but it will fit.
