Seems pricey ... or am I just cheap?

We do not construct cylindrical tanks any more or at this time. A 62 gallon tank rectangular will cost $650.00 plus shipping.
- Tank is manufactured out of 5052-H32 Aluminum Alloy.

- Terms are payment in full to issue drawings and initiate manufacture.

- Lead-time: 4 weeks after we receive full payment. (3 week min. upon drawing approval)

- Tanks are quoted FOB Henderson, NC.

- Shipping is not included nor estimated by FMT. Tanks are shipped freight collect.

- This quote is based exclusively on the information contained on drawings. Revisions and/or variations from this information may invalidate this quote.

- Tanks are quoted with pickup (NPTF fitting welded), fill, vent, and electric sending unit.

- We no longer stock or purchase Wema or Rochester Twin-Site senders (visual gauges).

- To ensure the structural integrity and safety of our product, F.M.T. requires mounting information (via drawing, video, and/or written explanation). F.M.T. engineering will assist in advising acceptable mounting modes should you require it.

- FMT recommends tank to have a fully supported bottom with ¼” neoprene rubber strips separating tank with support, and tank to be strapped or bracketed down.

- Tank is not designed for high performance use (application 55 MPH or greater)

- Quote valid for 30 days.

- Once payment is processed order is initiated and therefore can not be cancelled

If they don't construct cylindrical tanks anymore, then keep shopping. They were the original tank providers for Trojan I believe. Oh-well...

Try Snyder Tank Buffalo,NY 716-827-5353 They used to make tanks for Mack Trucks. I don't know if they still do but they're still in business.
