    I own a 1967 Dodge A100 Custom Sportsman van, I need some photos of the original gas tank that would fit this van. It needs to show the location of the filler hole and sending unit hole location. Plus I need the over all size of the tank.

    I think I have found a new replacement gas tank for Dodge A100, please check the size and tell me what you think?

    The stock tank has the filler hole at the bottom center.

    My 64 A-100 van isn't in a good position to photograph at the moment, but I had the tank out over the summer so I'll try to describe it. The filler neck is located at the lower left corner on the backside of the tank. The sending unit is also on the backside between the tank center and filler. There is also a vent connection on the top of the tank that connects to the filler tube via rubber hose. Hope this helps

    I finally found an original Dodge A100 gas tank, but it has holes and needs to be acid washed and a plastic tank formed inside that will hold gas. There is NO radiator shop in Santa Barbara anymore, closest shop is 45 miles away and is closed on the weekends. Anyone near Santa Barbara know of a good radiator shop, that could redo my old tank?

    Since you asked for photos and no one else posted them, how about posting a couple of pics of your tank so the forum has access to a good view of one...

    Here are some photos of the tank that I was able to get from San Diego. It has some holes that need to be fixed, so I have decided to have it cleaned and plastic lined so that it will hold gas.

    I have located a radiator shop in Oxnard California ( about 40 miles south of here) that does gas tanks, except they are only open Monday thru Friday which are the same days that I work. Looks like I am going to have to take a vacation day off to take it down there to have it done.

    That's definitely the right tank. If the radiator shop is anything like the place that handled my tank then it will take a couple days for the process. You may have to plan 2 trips.

    I am trying to work out a deal with a semi truck driver friend of mine who delivers to the place where I work. His company yard is within 2 miles distance from the radiator shop in Oxnard. He is also a car guy, who knows all about the gas tank refurbishing I need.

    Bugeye Bob, do you mind telling me what you paid to have your tank cleaned? Did you have a plastic liner installed inside your tank?

    I paid $100 (+tax) to have mine cleaned and lined. I peeked inside the tank when I swapped in a new sending unit the other day and everything looked good. They also applied some sort of thick black coating to the outside, but it dissolves in gasoline.

    If you need a sending unit, try one of these from eBay. That's what I just stuck in mine and seems to work pretty well. It doesn't say on that page, but mine came with the gasket and and locking ring.

    UPDATE: The Dodge A100 original tank that I recently received cannot be used, it is compleatly rotted out with rust. It cannot be lined with plastic, so I am now looking to have a brand new one made locally. So disappointing!

    I paid $125 at a radiator shop to have mine vatted and coated inside, works very well.
