I have noticed that I have a fuel leak and I require a new tank as their is corrosion around the tank from the filler pipe hose.
I have checked various companies and cost around £200-250. £198 from GSF, but I have found a company in Germany that will do it for £155 - ATP. Has anyone used this company before or has anyone else recently changed there tank?
Any advice would be appreciated.

I got mine from ECP and it is fine. Sadly the garage bolloxed up the breathers in some way so it can only fill incredibly slowly...
I got mine powdercoated (£25) because the paint it came with was very thin.

Wow, can't say fairer than that, I was going to offer up a superb condition used tank but I can't compete with that from Verde, great price for a good tank 8)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
