Yo'J Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 The tank can come from any similar subaru with the same body style (usually 81to 84) as long as its isnt a 2wd tank going in a 4wd as the tank has a indentation for the rear diff. Where are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelwheels Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I am looking at an 82 wagon myself and it has a rusted tank. I am told that you can get it reglazed for around $200 but have not verified. Wondering what you paid for the wagon and what kind of shape it is in.
