Description:
Selling a fully restored RX-7 FC S4 (86-88) fuel tank.
The tank was restored by Moyer Fuel Tank Renu in Greensburg, PA. You can take a look at their Google reviews and website to get an understanding of their process, but to briefly explain it they:
Cut the tank open. Sandblast the inside and outside completely to ensure a rust-free surface. Weld it back together. Do two rounds of applying and baking-on the Renu coating.
The final picture I uploaded shows the “BEFORE” of what this gas tank looked like. The reason why I’m selling it - I actually had the process done to TWO tanks I own. Long story short, my original FC tank was fairly rusty, I tried and failed to remove the all of the rust with electrolysis. I bought a junkyard one that had just a little surface rust, and tried to remove the surface rust with vinegar (as seen in the final picture). I repeatedly was getting flash rust while doing this, and so I gave up on trying to DIY, and brought both tanks to a professional.
You are getting the tank in the picture, except now it is fully rust-free and protected. I am just showing you the “before” so you get an understanding that the tank you are getting only had surface rust, and is now totally revamped.
I trust their process way more than any home method, such as POR15 or Red Kote, due to the sandblasting, and double-bake of the sealant. This is why I took both of my fuel tanks to them, and have confidence installing my original one back into my car.
I hope this tank can save you some $$ over buying a “new” one from Atkins or Mazdatrix for $800-$1000, plus the vapor valve + tank straps which are roughly another $100.
I’d prefer to do local pickup, because the shipping costs are unfortunately very high. I’m willing to drive 1-2 hours to meet you. I’m located in the Pittsburgh, PA area.
If you prefer it to be shipped, the shipping costs will be $225.
What you show here but don't mention is that the drain plug is rendered useless after the process is finished. He told me it might leak if he did not do this. I was a bit peeved but trusted his judgement. I am sure he tried it on other tanks only to have the customer come back complaining of a leak.
The fifth picture shows the drain plug. Buy with confidence that this tank are refurbished well. Just be aware that the drain plug is not use-able.

Hopefully I won’t be needing the drain, anyways, especially since as you said his work is reputable. I guess I can always siphon out fuel if I have to.
Thanks again.
I was kind of surprised that you didn't notice. There is a bunch of sealant over the bolt and on the inside. Good luck with your sale!
