Looking for a gas tank for a 65 econoline

I'm looking for a new or used econoline gas tank. Anything that will fit a 65 van. Preferably one without holes. Does anyone know where I might be able to find one? I've checked Mac's Antique with no luck. Are there any sources for NOS or new tanks?

thanks

Not that I am aware of.
Welcome to FTE

C5UZ9002A .. Fuel Tank-14 gallons / Obsolete

Fits: ALL 1961/67 Econolines

Sorry...no Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

There are neoprene bladders you can buy that will fit inside the tank.

Most radiator shops can repair fuel tanks. I had a bladder installed in a Studebaker Hawk several years ago,

No problem since.

65 ford econoline gas tank

Thanks for the info. I looked into having a radiator shop repair it but I live in Hawaii and for some reason the EPA stopped all the radiator shops from repairing gas tanks. One person's blog says they sent their tank to Gas Tank RENU - USA and were very happy with the results but I'm not sure the sealant will be able to seal all the holes. Some are almost an 1/8 of an inch in diameter. Have you seen any gas tank sealers that will fill a hole that big?
