The $50 Cruiser - gas tank options

[Trey]

I found this tank zip tied into an 80s model riding mower. No clue to it's original use. I haven't tried sitting on this with the seat fully extended- doubt it'll work, but it's an interesting fit no less.
I think I'll use this somehow, or mount the kit tank behind the seat untill it's replaced. Don't know why I dislike it so much, but it's gotta go anyway.
I've heard talk about a material to seal PVC against gasoline. Anyone know for sure that this works? With PVC it would be easy to build two that I could trade out- grocery getter and Montana fire road distance driver.

I have a plastic tank you can have for the price of shipping, it holds almost 2 gallons and its an old yamaha 3 wheeler tank, it can be mounted on the top bar and its the only tank you'll ever need. Its plastic, so it won't rust. PM me if you're interested.

Thanks, but I'm trying to get it behind the seat. It came to me in a vision... well, I had the thought that it would look good anyway.

Well, I decided to just do something. I'm happy with how it came out. Kit tank and brackets, on gear rack. The original fuel cut off was bad, replaced with plastic. I trimmed that back one barb to lessen the kink in the line. Filter is accessable, fuel cut off doesn't wobble when used now. Runs good.
I found a GearNut post on PVC tanks. Looks do-able!
