Salvage yard recommendations out West

**Dave Rifkin** · #1 11-12-2021, 04:38 PM

I have a 2002 Nissan Xterra (I know this is not a musclecar) that is in need of a new fuel tank. I hesitate to try to find one in a local salvage yard for fear that it will be in the same condition as my current tank.

It was suggested that I try to find one out West and was hoping that someone on this forum might know of a reputable yard in the West that might be able to supply me with a good tank for my truck.

Thanks

If you don't get any suggestions, I can ask at work on Monday. We get suspension parts and frames shipped to MN from yards out West often. The manager will know which ones to contact.
As an aside, are these tanks not available aftermarket ? Did you try LKQ ?

Just did a search on car-part.com. A fair number available in the southwest for under $100. I only searched 2002, since I don't know the year range they were the same. Fill in the specifics of what you have and want.

Thanks very much, I just did a search and sent in a few requests for quotes. I also sent a request to Desert Valley Auto Parts.
