heepnerd Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi Was wondering if anyone could tell me where to find a new tank for a 85 Dolphin, it's not the original one in there right now but whatever will work. Thanks, Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoyhomme Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Amy, A regular stock fuel tank (17 gal) for a whatever year Toyota pick-up truck is probably all you need. Jc Whitney probably has it or maybe can find one in a a junkyard. Most of the Toyota motor home manufacturers used the stock fuel tanks. Sunrader had an optional 26 gal tank but it used stock Toyota connections, etc. What kind of tank do you have? Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulfstream Greg Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 If you want to save a ton of money a wrecking yard would be your best bet. You did not say why the one you have needs to be replaced. Non stock tanks usually are larger capacity around 22 gal and highly sought after. The stock tank will be 17 or 12 gal I think.

John H Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I just had a new tank built in Fort Wayne, IN. They could get an original but the price from CA was $1200 plus shipping and handling. So they had one built at a radiator shop nearby. Cost about $800. The suggestions for getting one at a junkyard are good, just be sure it's not rusted badly. The advantage of having one built is that you can install a larger capacity tank, depending on the dimensions of your gas tank void.

Thanks, Amy Hi, Amy. I just pulled yesterday, the fuel tank out of a 1984 Huntsman. It's in pretty good shape and half full of gas.-Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strassy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Amy, I have a tank I recently removed from an '84 Huntsman. I would think it is the stock Toyota tank. It looks OK. The RV had only 70K on it, but got torched on Halloween. The drive train and associated parts are all available if anyone is interested. I took the rear 1 ton axle assembly off and installed it under my '81 Mini Cruiser.- Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
