care to share the price you paid?  I added an alumimum tank to the back of the Rabbit and was into it for 4 bills.  12 gallon tank, heater tubes, bungs and the sender.  Guy had it made for a Jetta and never used it.  Price did include press on 3/8 inch line and enough 1/2 radiator hose to go from engine bay to back of the car.  Roughly 20 feet pluse an oil filter flange, fittings and two filters.  So maybe the price on the tank is only 3 bills less all the rest of that stuff.

Price was 425.00

sender was 33.50

That should be 3.5 extra over stock

Thanks at least now I know I didn't get ripped on my deal.  Mostly because of the quality of the tank and all the extras would have been necessary anyway.  The guy called me up about a week after I installed it because he found more stuff.  When I showed him the install he was loving it.  He was sure the right guy got the right deal.

I wonder how much the 30 gal in my Caddy was?  It sure needed  the air shocks  when full.

I saw an Arizona caddy pickup with 24 gallons.  30 gallons.  Wow.
Would really be interested in one if 24 or larger.
