joey_crandall Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Someone on here wants my spare gas tank I was wondering what someone has done shipping a gas tank did you build a crate or find a big enough box? Or would it be worth his time and money for me to ship it? Edited May 4, 2013 by joey_crandall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoCam360 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I've shipped one to the east coast. Cost me about $40 via FedEx (with our volume discount). We used heavy cardboard and it arrived safely.....use good tape and packing materials and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_crandall Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Ok I'll find a big box and get some packing peanuts or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goddard Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Make sure you air it out really well! Any fumes would be bad. I shipped one once via big box with no issues but I let it sit w/o the filler neck on for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I bought one on eBay once. Seller just wrapped it in layers and layers of stretch wrap and stuck a label on it. It arrived just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_crandall Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Ok I might do that thanks nomad. It's been sitting empty for about 6 months with the holes plugged up ill rinse it out withe alcohol or acetone to get any residue or varnish out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
