Wanted Gas tank for TR6

Share this page

How bad is yours?? They sell alum ones $$$$ TR 4 are the same. Tell us more what you have and what you want I have some guys to ask or who you can contact in Portland OR. Madflyer
 
Thanks. I just bought a '74 TR6 that's been up on blocks in a garage since '86. A lucky no rust all original find. Obviously a lot to do and the gas smells like you would expect. There is some blackish gas smelling thick liquid oozing from the bottom of the tank into the boot. I haven't taken it out yet as I am still trying to figure out where the drain is. Anyway, there is obviously a hole somewhere and I think a new one is the way to go. Thanks for the help.
 
The only drain is the gas line and it will not let all the gas out. As it is made as a clam shell the seam is where to rust will form. If it is not bad a radiator shop can fix it but it will then need to be resealed as in coated. It is a three part system and you can get a kit from any motorcycle shop ( Note TR gas tanks hold 12.5 gal. ) I used one kit for my tank while the tank was out and the car was at the paint shop. 27 years later I have never had a problem.

Being a West Coast car it is a good find. sitting since 86 leaves a lot of work and looking into. This is a good place to report things for others to follow. Is this work in your wheel house or will a lot of this be done by others. And last find club for extra support. Madflyer
