Default New fuel tank

Hi,

I need a new fuel tank. It seems there are a couple of non-Volvo alternatives like Nordica, any recommendations here? Have yet to check if Volvo still have original ones available...

Thanks
Henrik

Most important thing is to paint it well so that the new one lasts

As you were out of stock, I bought a Danish one from Brookhouse.

Rust-proofing is more important than painting. Cavity vax on top and Dinitrol black rubbery stuff on bottom.

Thanks

I use Zinesser one coat black. I saw a builder put it on an old rust cast iron pipe and hopper head about 4 years ago and it still looks like he painted it yesterday.
