Lawnmower Gas Tank Help -
04-08-07, 02:20 PM
Okay I got an old Murray Riding Lawnmower (lawn tractor for the Southernese Impared) I'm trying to fix for my mom. The gas tank was cracked. So I had to take a hacksaw just to get it out. Yay for teh hacksaw 
Soooo... What can I use for a gas tank. I need something I can hook a fuel line up to and not worry about my mom driving it and it blowing up on her 
I'm thinking a closed system overflow tank for a radiator... 
Any suggestions welcomed 
PS: Happy Easter!!!

I am sure that a small engine repair shop would have a suitable replacement.

That's what I was thinking. The new lawnmowers just have their tanks zip tied in . My new Troy Built has a zip tied gas tank.
