Not a steal either. 🤭 Deestone seem to be very good and reasonably priced, around 85 each. Edited October 15, 2020 by JPMulders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey on top Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Hi guys, I personally have had a poor experience with Speedway tyres so would recommend spending the extra, you get what you pay for. Lucky you are not booting up a GMC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey on top Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Olaco were the wartime manufacturers of fuel tanks so seeing as it looks like it has some age I think you might have an original one. You can buy repro Olaco tanks but they tend to be a bit more expensive than plain un-stamped repro tanks. For me personally I would try and refurbish your tank, they can be re-lined/coated.
