Default gas tank for my 84 supra

anyone know where i can get a hold of one? or maybe even thinking about picking up a plastic tank...not sure. my tank is aged...like my car and im finding rust spots that turn into holes....so if anyone has any suggestions on where i can find a tank or a plastic tank lemme know plz

p.s. already called the salvage yards that i know have my car most tanks have been sold already or have gashes in the bottom for draining purposes

tank was on it when i grabbed some stuff from it before. cophers doesnmt take the tanks out anymore. not sure why but not complaining. i just need to grab a couple mouldings off of it for my beater. maybe the blower motor if it turns out thats why the fan isnt blowing. got to check some ish in the morning on it.

Thats how LKQ drains the tanks, they poke holes in them, what a waste.

that sucks. especially when there is a drain plug on the tank.
