Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

Hi-

I'm looking for a replacement gas tank for my 57 Biarritz.  Does anyone have a recommended vendor that sells them?

Thanks.

The tanks are being made new and available on ebay.  I think there is one source and many resellers.  Find the best deal.

Hi!

Won`t start  another topic....

Does anybody know if these new reproduction 57 fuel tanks are zink coated or just primed/painted.. Would like to have it in zink.
Also Caddydaddy says that their 57 gas tank does not fit to Eldorados and Broughams, but no other ebay seller claims that. I`m pretty sure these tanks come from the same source.

Thank you, Roger!
I suspected the same, couse I couldn`t find any differences by the pictures.
Now just have to find best seller.

The shape of the tank is the same, but the Brougham has 3 holes in the top and std. one has one.
