Quanta and Spectra are the same company if I remember right.

Quanta is a different company. Spectra is a Canadian company and they were a supplier that GM used in the past. I use their tanks and they are nice and accurate. http://www.spectrapremium.com/home.html

The NOS ones I had gotten have had shelf damage, which is why I use the Spectra gas tank. They look identical.

Thx for the replies, decision made. Another question, for a frame off restored driver, what are the best methods for keeping the tank looking fresh/new.? I know the welded seems should be cleared with something to prevent rusting, any other ideas out there.? Thx again

After you get your brand new tank,give it a good even solvent wiping on the outside,then wipe a coat of Boeshield T-9 all over it. I've done this every fall before storage & it still looks brand new. |
