Gas tank was created by Tpap
Looking for help! I just picked up a 1974 DT360 to restore. The tank is pretty rough, so I'm looking for a replacement, however the ones I find on EBAY are not much better than what I have. Has anyone purchased a new one from China? Or does anyone have one for sale that is nice and clean for a reasonable price?
Thank you!
Thank you!

I just looked on eBay, DT250/360 tanks on there look fairly rough too. I wasnt aware someone in China made DT tanks, post a link. Also post some pics of your tank. Unless its totally rusted and full of holes or horribly dent it may be able to be saved. I fiber glassed a section of a tank that was all cheesy, then lined the inside with Caswell epoxy tank liner.
Also 73-74 MX250/360 and SC500 tanks will fit , the only difference is the filler cap(screw type) and the petcock.
Thanks Mark

If that's the final product in your profile picture, you sir, are a true craftsman!
Tpap, I think you just found your man!

There might be a few at the local wreckers up here in Edmonton, Canada. Do you want me to go look?

Maybe someone here may know if a 75 MX tank would fit a 74 DT250. How much gas does it hold, dented?
Thanks Mark
