Yeah, didn't get the price though. Supposed to hang down lower which is not a good thing... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Update: ARB will not import them due to DOT restrictions and "differences between right hand drive and left hand drive vehicles".
I don't believe there's anything different back there, but who knows.

I plan to modify this Blazer tank for use in my '85 4Runner where the spare tire used to go: http://www.galleria-e.com/cgi-bin/Colemans.storefront/en/Product/462301I'll have either install or have them installed, 2 vent fittings, one drain fitting and the fill tube, but I don't see those as big deals. If I don't think I can do it safely, I'll have a professional welding outfit do it for me. Thanks, Al

One thing you really gotta keep in mind, Ray.
You do still live in the United Socialist Rupublic of Kalifornia. There is an addition to the smog check program that you should be aware of.
BAR is planning on instituting an EVAP test where they apply pressure to your EVAP system and check for leaks. The idea is to reduce (further) hydrocarbon emissions.
I'm thinking that if you install a custom tank of any kind you may, in the future, be required to certify it in some way and or cause yourself many headaches trying to find a leak that may or may not exist simply because it isn't a factory tank.
They were supposed to start this test Jan of 2005 but things move slowly at the Gestapo BAR.
