Anyone done this on a 1993 Escape? Tips? tank suppliers? Info I should ask for from Grady? Pics and advice welcome. I definitely have this in my future, even if I don't find the tank is leaking.... 28 years old, that tank owes me nothing.

Just find a local tank fabricator and speak with them. Usually, you would remove the tank and they will build it off the previous one. Most people opt for an upgrade on thicker aluminum and a Wema sender. I luck out and have a great guy local. The shipping would probably kill you, but they area easy to deal with. He has done 2 tanks and a swim platform for me.
