DAF 55 - Petrol tank

[zorteper]

I've started looking/collection some parts needed for the spring checkup of my 55, but I can't find a petrol tank.
My tank is beyond repair. Not rusted through, but because the car's been standing still for 20+ years the condensation inside has rendered it useless!
It looks like a coral reef or something inside!

Is there any tanks from other cars/makes that could fit with a little handywork?
I've looked around for a parts car, but there isn't a DAF for sale here in Norway. Nor in Sweden.

Hi,my sons 44 had stood for 10+years and was as you describe your 55 tank.I used one of these sealants.It did a great job but I did put an inline filter between the tank and fuel pump[just in case]. starider.

Thanks for the tip.
I'll try a couple of things like putting av fist full of nuts in the tank and then shake it like h...
Then, maybe a sealant could work.

It's also possible I've found a used tank in Sweden, but it's for a '78 66. Will that fit?

ps
I realize now that this thread is in the wrong place.

Hi,from memory I think the tanks are different. starider.

I'm pretty sure that I have a few tanks on the shelf. Need to work out which ones they are and what state they are in. Not sure how to send it to Scandinavia though.
