Fuel bladder for a C2, C3 gas tank?

[Mark E.]

Is a kit available to retrofit a fuel bladder in a C2, C3 gas tank?

I'm interested in making my '70 driver a bit safer. See Joe Lucia's and Duke's posts in this thread:

Wow! Wonder what that would have liked like with a 36.5 gallon tank back there..........

Not that I know of. I expect that product liability issues would likely scare off any reproduction/replacement source.

Quanta reproduces the 1975-77 fuel tank. This tank was originally used with a separate bladder. However, Quanta does not offer a bladder for this tank. Presumably, this means that one would need to use this tank with an existing bladder (unlikely one would be serviceable) or just use it without a bladder. If one cannot obtain a bladder for the 1975-77 tank, which originally used a bladder, then I doubt that a retrofit bladder would be available for 1963-74 tanks which did not originally use a bladder.

By the way, the original 1978-82 and 1984-96 fuel tanks included a "formed-in-place" bladder that was part of the fuel tank assembly. The 1978-82 and 1984-96 tanks are available in reproduction but I do not know if they include the "formed-in-place" bladder.
