They come up very often on EBAY, and at extremely good prices. They were once about a third cheaper, then about eight years ago they jumped up.
I had one, but wasn't prepared to pay that much for a second for the other tank, so I sold it.

No i have nothing underneath, just the brass ring that you bang on and the cap which screws onto that, it doesn't lock..

You could try sealing it with something that doesn't react with fuel...

Kev, they handled better bald like that in the wet than new falkens :lol:
