You can get a brand new fuel tank from Mazda Trix... You may not like the price, though. -> Mazda Trix: 84-85 12A & 13B fuel tank

You'd be better off finding a used fuel tank from a local RX-7 enthusiast.

www.re-speed.com is currently developing replacement gas tanks for 1st gens. Not sure how soon they'll be ready, but they should be better and cheaper than any other offerings...

Thank you all for your input. I have decided to patch it up with liquid metal and then paint it. Also on another subject, does anyone know where I can get brake vents or may also be called ducts, dams or scoop. It would be greatly appreciated as they are very rusty. Thanks again.
Dan

I have been looking for one as well. I brought mine to a radiator shop but they didn't want to touch it. I am still looking.
