	If you can't find one you can always chain it. Take it off the car, through in a chain and shake the crap out of it. The chain will knock off the rust. Then all you have to do is flip it upside down remove the rust flakes and the chain.

	Sorry but you can't do that with Fiero Tanks. Fiero Tanks have several plastic baffles in the tanks. If you drop a chain in there, the very least you will do is get to about 1/8th of the tank, worst case you will shatter the baffles and make the tank scrap metal. Your only bet for a new tank is finding a used one at a wreckers. I can't remember if your car is an 86 or 87. 86 tanks are pretty available. 87-88 Tanks are harder to find and usually cost more. As far as I know, there are no NEW tanks available. I use to work for a fuel tank supplier and had researched it several times trying to get new tanks for club members and they just don't exist. You can take the tank off and take it to a place that renews old tanks. Gas Tank Renew comes to mind I think they are in Langley around 208th and the Bypass. I would call up Performance Radiator in Coquitlam and see if they can find you a new tank, if they can't they should be able to tell you where to get it re conditioned.
