Any of the big distributors sell them....Classic Industries, Rick's Camaro, NPD, Lutty's Camaro and Year One. Shop around until you get the best price.

Timmy if the old one from my 72 will fit in your car you can have it. It may need some work but hey, you can't beat the price.

Was the one gone off the camaro at Pull a Part?? I'm not even sure if they leave the tanks on the cars.

Ropels on Bardstown in the highlands,where got mine, a reconditioned one for $80 I think. Dude told me they had a few that customers had dropped off to have cleaned out and what, and never returned for pickup.
Also came with a warranty.

Yeah roppels
I dont think they sell um either, they just recondition um. The guy said they had some that they refurbished and the people that dropped them off didn't come back to get so instead of refurbishing mine, they sold me one they had laying around. That was a bit over a year ago. He had 3 of um in a upstairs storage room. I imagine the other 2 are still there.
