For replacement tank, pop the front fuel sender cover off on the floor by your center console and look for manufacturer sticker on tank. I just did this for parts to mine. If tank is made by Florida marine tanks , get capacity and call them. They are still making the tanks and are ethanol complaint. You just at need new fuel lines/vent lines, etc. http://www.floridamarinetanks.cometanks.com Good luck Edited by Jbeaux2000 on 08/22/13 - 6:14 AM 1989 18' outrage / 2013 E-tec 150-AAB model

If you south of NY and east of the Mississippi, Florida Marine is the right way to go. Outside of this area, shipping will get progressively more expensive the farther you are. A local aluminum fabricator can make you a tank using the existing one as a template. Figure ~ $1k including the replacement of hoses.
