    Looking for a Standard Tank

    Looking for a standard tank with minimal rust inside (surface rust ok). Paint can be bad but no major dents. Trying to not spend more than $150. I don't need any of the externals (sensor, petcocks, cap, etc) but if it comes with it that's ok.

        Last time I shipped a tank it was only $35-40. The issue wasn't weight, it was size.

        Nothing, in particular, is wrong with my tank. There's a couple of dings from riding and use that I want to have fix but I also know what's under the paint and I'm not going to spend anymore money on a tank that was rough to begin with. Rather start from scratch with a tank that I KNOW has solid metal all the way around.

        Also, I think the surface may have not been prepped 100% throughly (I guess that's what happens when I get a good deal). The paint is starting to bubble underneath the base coat in places which points to contaminents under the primer. Shame too, because it was a beautiful paint job. Could just be crappy metal too so I don't want to point any fingers because your guy gave me a really good deal on everything.

        Text me a picture of the standard tanks you have. Like I said, I'm trying to find something better than I have already if I'm going to get another paint job.

            tank

            I have a tank I was trying to trade for another style tank. Tank is super clean but has been creamed by someone else. Not sure why it was creamed because I dont see any rust or damage at all.
