Need a good, ready to go fuel tank - 1970 w113
« on: June 11, 2021, 13:43:47 »
Good morning folks.

I am looking to replace my fuel tank. 1970 W113.

Tank only, no sender needed. Looking for a good, solid, clean tank ready to be installed.

Any suggestions or offerings?

Regards,
Tom

If you’re not concerned with having OEM then the Dansk tank is the way to go. See link below. Most of the second hand used tanks are usually no better than what you are replacing.

I would recommend the tank made by JP Dansk, here is one brand new delivered to you for $433.98. I have been using it for years in my 280SL, and no issues.
