Ive definitely got an odd parts procurement issue . We are in need of a set of fuel tanks for a M4A3 Sherman Tank. Even ones that are rusted out, really just need a pattern to build new ones for it. Of course servicable or repairable ones are better but that is most likely dreaming. It is holding up reinstalling the engine since they have to go in first. Does anyone have ANY clue where to look? were out of ideas!
Even a few decent photos or drawings of them would be good!
Take a look on the Steel Soldiers web site (www.steelsoldiers.com). They have a section on tanks/armored vehicles. I'm sure someone there can point you in the right direction. They may even have a T.O. with dimensions, etc.

Who had the gas tanks? If you don't want to say on the open forum, please send me a PM. Thanks

That i do not know. They were found at aberdeen by the collection owner as far as i have been told. They are just the upright rectangular tanks.
