The newer Spectra tanks have a vent tube inside tank that runs up to the filler pipe that fixes the fill issue.

How new? The one I bought last year sucks!!!!

The GN tank I bought is probably 2 years old, I'm sure I got hosed on that one too.

I bought a GN tank off ebay from some seller like AZchevy or something. I think the sender was cheapsest on rock auto. Find the tank part number of rock auto or whatver, type in ebay and maybe wait for a 10% off sale on top of that.

It was as cheap as rock auto but free shipping, which on a box as big as a fuel tank isn't anything to scoff at.

I used a propane torch to de sweat the factory filler neck from my GP tank. I made sure to fill the old tank FULL of water before I went after it. I removed the factory neck and had a local radiator shop silver solder it back on for $20. Fills perfect and drops in the right spot.

Yep, I bought my GN tank for $82.50 with no sender and free shipping from the ebay seller "bobsclassicchevy "

I checked and they don't have the tank anymore. My guess is they lost their rear on that sale, Rock auto wanted like $25 shipping on their $95 tank.

Cross-reference the part numbers. You may be able to find them cheaper elsewhere. Go to RockAuto.com for the data below. Click on Info and the part number to see more info about each tank type.

If you are contemplating fuel injection, you may want to keep an eye out for the tank in this link - it has baffles to protect the pickup from being uncovered when the fuel shifts in a low tank.
