      1985 Toyota dolphin muffler tailpipe

      Just bought a 1985 toyota dolphin. The tailpipe that extends from the muffler to the back appears to be missing. The muffler stops between the front and back wheels. I'm trying to figure out where i should hang the new extension pipe when i attach it. Mainly, I'm hoping to find a photo of what it should look like. I've never done this before and want to do it right. Can anybody either show a photo beneath their dolphin or point me to one as I'm not able to find one.

      Dorman Fuel tank quality?
      On 11/4/2023 at 10:34 AM, Odyssey 4x4 said:

      I'm still a bit unsure what route I'm gonna take at this point. I have found several online reviews for the Dorman tanks stating poor quality and prone to failure to due to thin metal and poor construction. My tank is not in poor condition but does have slight rust inside from this happening. This specific review on advance autos website pretty much explains it all, and oddly enough, they mention it's on a Toyota RV. I went to a Toyota dealership yesterday and obviously these tanks have been discontinued a while ago by Toyota, and when they had them they were over $1000.

      So my options are to...

       

      -Risk it and get a Dorman tank, and reinforce the dorman tank before install like the person above said they did and hope for the best.

      -Restore my current tank with an interior rust removal process and relining it, doable but a pain in the butt. 

      -Find another tank at a junkyard, the chances of finding a 19 gallon 4x4 tank for my year sitting at a yard seem pretty slim. 

      -Order a used tank on ebay which would be expensive and expensive shipping. 

      -Install a completely aftermarket tank and have to fabricate a new mounting system in the truck, this would be a nice way to gain a few gallons in fuel capacity but comes with the work of fabricating the mounts. 

       

      I'll keep the thread updated on what route I choose, and I'm open to input from anyone and would still love to hear if anyone has any experience on replacement tanks used in the past. I see a few threads on this site but would love any info I could get. 

      I just want to add that I had this very same problem with replacement tanks 10 years ago!  I did get my money back after trying 2 and having same leak.  Then I had a mechanic spot weld the leak points on the exterior and that held.
