Now that my Jackpiner is gone, I am going to get my 70 Steeltanker going. I have a question that I hope someone can answer.
With the tanks getting hard to find and the gas caps getting expensive, I thought I would see what else would fit.
Does anyone know of an alternate gas cap that would fit the steeltanker?
And/or does anyone know of a specific tank that would be a good replacement for the steel tank on the steeltankers?
Thanks for all the support over the years

Andy,
Some of the tanks and caps do go for a good bit on the auction block, but they are still around for a fair price, remember that half the fun is the hunt!
If you haven't talked to Alan Buehner yet about a tank, you may wish to give him a call, he may have something that will work.
I wonder if a Sachs or DKW tank might fit????

Thanks Dane. I know the hunt is the thing, but I am getting antsy to get it on the road with more than a temperary fuel bottle.
I also got some info from Teddy on the tanks. Thanks again Teddy and see you this weekend.
I have a tank from a Monark (plastic yellow, stamped with SUPERSTAR PRODUCTS) that may fit.
I am going to hit a bike junk yard and go through the "tank trailer" and see what may fit, as well as chase an idea from a buddy on some unconventional sources to find something that would fit for now.
