if anyones thinking about bidding , do your homewrok as you may find these go for over the amount clarke are selling them for. the Clarke yellow tanks are very good also, a very good yellow.

[LWC82PE]

yep already over 140 US!, these are gonna go for over $200 ea you watch them! so save your self the pain and get a Clarke one, then buy decals and cap separately.
i beleve making plastic tanks is highly specialized and not like doing fenders or fibreglass stuff so i doubt there is another mob other than Clarke making these replicas. i remember someone asking DC plastic if they can make tanks but they said its a totally different process and a lot more involved and expensive.

I just bought one of these Clarke tanks for my 250T, expecting it to arrive in the next few days.
Now I just gotta find the correct tank stickers for it.....

  Kev            What did they charge for postage and handling ?   

[Doc]

I emailed the guy on ebay who had the above tanks listed and he tells me tm400 replica are on the cards. I reckon it would be the end to few issues but certainly they'll probably weigh more than a steel or alum tank. A replica plastic tank on the TMS400 would be sweet 

[LWC82PE]

Clarke usually charge about $60 US for shipping/handling. takes about 7-10 days to arrive.

Example of tank shipping cost: I just received an alloy PE250B tank from a mate in the backwoods - US$45 shipping from North Carolina to Sydney.
