    Technically, I do because I'm making a new gas tank up front. The caveat is that one of the things I have been considering, and haven't yet decided on, is using the existing FFR solution for the fuel pump & sender by cutting out the area around that fitting and using it in my new tank. I won't need that soon, though, so I'll happily ship you mine, if you'll agree to shipping me a cutout of that fitting should I decide to go that route.
    Have you seen the 818 Registry on Google Maps?? https://www.google.com/maps/ms?msid=...a=0&dg=feature

    Want your 818 added to the Registry? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zmF...rNCY4/viewform

    Hot up wallace18. I'm getting mine from him. He has a spare one from the 33 that will fit. I will be waiting on the new one for final interior. I just want to get working on my wiring.

    I'll take yours Xusia. When my tank comes I will send you the part or the whole tank if you want. What does the tank weigh too?

    I got your PM. I need to measure and weigh it to get a shipping estimate.

    I am not using mine any time soon so I can do something with you. The tank design has changed and so has the sheet metal that covers it, so we might need to trade more then just the tank.

    Let me know.

    Rm1sepex had an extra tank that had the wrong fill location. If xusia wanted only the sender mounting tabs he might sell you those pieces cut off.

    $33 is reasonable. The price I got from FedEx was riDONKulous.
