You could us a 81/82 and just adapt the fuel line.

I would think napa would have a brass 1/4-5/16 adapter that would work. I know I ran a 80 tank on a 81 and just tightened the hose down good.

Yes the 80 had the same setup (screen and all) as a 81 evrything was 1/16th bigger.
size was stated previously.

79 mounts diff in rear.  Its longer so then you would need to chang the seat. And a 79 seat is compleatly diff than a 80.  Petcock is the same though. Same as many I imagine. Have one on my 360.

sorry, no '80. I have an '81 with only a small dent in it. I'm waiting to part with it until my other has been painted and I am happy with the results.

Do you still have this tank?
