Hi Joel,

I called this Stnls Stl Brakes Corp and the fellow insisted they have
nothing to do w/ gas tanks or carriers of ANY type, spare, imported, etc,
etc, PERIOD.  Is there a certain person i should ask for?  I really do want
one of these tanks.  I did check w/ Griot's Garage, and they do have them,
but at $79.95+12.95 shpg.  Guess I'll do that if necessary.  TIA.
