>fellow who brings in most of the philipine repro parts that come into the
>US, about getting a Repro gas tank for my GPW (it had the ubiquitous big
>bubba tank where the back seat used to be when I got it) and he told me
>that the entire last batch of tanks, 110 of them, leaked and had to be sent
>back. Further more he does not know when the next batch will arrive, the
>phillipinos got scared about liability aftre some fellow almost blew up his
>house when a full tank leaked out on the garrage floor overnight right next
>to the water heater!!! Art said that there was a Canadian company who was
>making the tanks but they wanted an order of 500 tanks to deliver. All
>this leaves me with a problem, I need a good gas tank. I actualy want a
>repro, because I have had big trouble with old tanks getting clogged up.
>Can any one point me in the right direction? Thanks for the help.
